Binatone Carrera X350 GPS system

Posted on: September 05, 2007

Binatone Carrera X350 GPS system

The Binatone Carrera X350 personal navigation system was recently unveiled at the IFA 2007 event in Berlin, sporting a rather slim profile that makes it perfect for use in vehicles as well as pedestrians. Each purchase comes with UK safety camera warnings and has the capability to perform a full UK 7 digit postcode search. Features include a 3.5" color display, 3D map rendering for those who can't decipher 2D maps, and an SD memory card slot for expansion options. It is currently up for grabs for £130 in Europe with no word on whether it will make it's way across the Atlantic.

New maps will be available during june 2008 suggest you contact Binatoneon 1300 766 066 for further information. An up grade will cost $A99 I am told

You can get maps by simply trading the SD card that came with your Binatone carrera with someone elses SD card with the maps you need!

I have all europe maps for 2008 including spain and italy. Does anyone have a Binatone with maps of USA? Email me at joelbcohen at (google email).

Thanks.

I have a Binatone Carrera A350 from ARGOS ltd. ARGOS are still selling it, and the bloody thing is not supported by Binatone! Never ever go with these. they are cheap and nasty! Go with a proven make such as Sony or TomTom.

Only hotfix is the melbourne map only, I've contacted website and was told update for australia maps should be about mid 2008.
There is no speed alerts for australia map at present.
Any info you require is on www.binatone.com.au contact support on this website and they will most certainly help you either by email or phone.
As they stated, it is a new productr ange and support will get better in future.

I got an X350 for Christmas (2007) appears to work ok - reasonably happy - don't know how current the mapping is. Am having all sorts of trouble trying to download the Hotfix II from the web site. Sent two "contact us" emails with no reply.

Where is the hotfix for Australian Speed Cameras. I have just purchased the unit and cannot get the speed camera feature to operate. My search of the website only turned up UK updates.

I just got one in Australia and could not be happier with it. They are down to AU$200 as of DEC 2007. You can get the speed camera hotfix now from www.binatonecarrera.com. I have just installed the free speed camera upgrade but have not had a chance to test it yet.

I have one too, but have no idea how to update the map which is old. The website is useless & does no give any support.

I purchased this GPS in Australia recently. At around $270AUD.Good value and ease of use. The only thing i would like to see is more software support as this GPS does not recognise Australian speed cameras. Only in the UK can one buy speed camera enabled maps. Otherwise a great buy
