I think it bests the pricier Garmin Edge 1030 in this respect – it's more like a high-end smartphone. Cons: Video quality isn't a match for dedicated action cameras, (otherwise excellent) route planning in app doesn't include elevation profile, user interface improved since X5 but still not the slickestĪs you can see in our unboxing video, Xplova has done a nice job with the packaging: the X5 Evo comes in a smart box with magnetic closure, feeling every bit the premium product.Pros: Unique integration of video recording into a GPS computer, large and easily-readable touchscreen, useful mobile apps offer a big increase in functionality when you're not by a PC, competitive pricing.Appropriately enough, given the name, it's an evolution rather than a revolution, with a welcome £70 price cut and evidence of lots of work having been done to improve the user interface. It's the only full-feature GPS computer with onboard video recording, with a nice big colour screen and 720p video capability. The Xplova X5 Evo is an update to the original X5 that we tested last year.
