And, you can choose to receive directions in a language of your choice: be it Hindi, Tamil or Punjabi.īut what sets this apart as a GPS navigator is that you can use landmarks around your destination to plot a route. It also incorporates voice recognition so that you can ask it for help, rather than fiddle with it while driving. It also has a USB cable, to charge the unit and update its maps. The Via 125 comes in a brushed aluminium finish with a 5 inch touchscreen. That changed last week when TomTom launched its Via series in India. However, most GPS devices in India have not been up to global standards. Most of us have been told by helpful cyclists, on lonely stretches, to go straight-only to find that the last time a road was built there was when Sher Shah Suri had just been defeated in battle by Humayun. Even the most helpful person can send you offtrack, because he offers you the best route that he knows. It remembers where you like to go, be it a pub or karaoke barįinding your way around any city is a pain.
