THE SPIRIT 6970 LM TRUCK

The Spirit 6970 LM Truck is perhaps the most elegant portable GPS navigation system i've ever seen largely thanks to the attention given to its finish and of course its dimensions (142mm in length, 86mm in width and 14mm in height).

One of my favorite portable GPS navigation systems has been the old yet very easy and fast to use Z100 Crocodile by Becker (4.3" screen, waterproof) so i thought it would be nice to place it next to the Spirit 6970 LM Truck to check the differences in size.

The company logo is placed on a brushed aluminum area that surrounds the LCD screen as can be seen above.

The microphone that takes care of your voice commands and telephones (if you connect the device with your smartphone) is located on the lower left of the screen while the on/off power LED is placed on the left top.

A medium-sized speaker is placed at the rear of the device.

On the left side of the device we see the USB host port (also used to charge the device), 3.5mm AV input and a microSD card slot.

I was a bit surprised to see that the bundled windscreen bracket is very sturdy although there are sturdier aftermarket ones available.
