Gophers Releases the New TRI-O

Gophers Technologies Sdn Bhd is a Malaysian company that is leading the way in GPS technology innovation. The TRI-O CE is the latest offering from this barely six-month old company.

The new Gophers TRI-O CE comes with the latest SiRF Atlas III CPU which replaces the Samsung 400MHZ processor and SiRF Star III GPS receiver. The SiRF Atlas III establishes a fast Time to First Fix (TTFF) - the time it takes to calculate its first position when stationary, as well as superior ability to lock on to signals when on the move. With the implementation of the new chip set, users will find the interface of the Gophers TRI-O CE to be quicker and more responsive. While the differences are subtle and only noticeable when the TRI-O and the TRI-O CE are compared side by side, it was significant enough for the folks at Gophers to make these changes.

The Gophers TRI-O CE comes in a nifty 3.5” touch-screen, small and light enough to easily pocket it when you leave your car. Voice guidance is available in English, Malay, Mandarin and Cantonese. Pre-loaded with maps of MapKing and Malsing Maps, the Gophers TRI-O CE is ready to use out of the box.

Users will have access to dependable and reliable maps which are updated every quarter. The only thing that a Gophers user needs to do is to register online to have access to the latest map update. There is also a wide selection of Points of Interest (POI) to refer to, such as your closest petrol station, hotel, sight-seeing location, historical landmark, shopping mall, restaurants and more.

In addition to maps, the Gophers TRI-O CE plays MP3, WAV and WMA files. You can read your e-books and access your JPEG images too. The built-in rechargeable battery lasts up to 3 hours, with 300 hours standby time and is rechargeable via the car battery charger or AC adapter (both of which are provided in the kit).

Gophers Technologies is committed to making the latest in GPS technology available to Malaysian consumers at affordable prices, in a market that is dominated by foreign imports. The enhancement to this model has been made at no change in price to the consumer. The Gophers TRI-O CE retails at RM998 for both Malaysia and Singapore maps.

The Gophers TRI-O CE can be purchased from authorized dealers, online at www.gophers.com.my or by calling 1-300-888-GPS (477).
