Chapter 12 Buying a PDA
In fact, if Terry didn't warn him, Chi Heng wouldn't go to the lake if he was killed.

In addition to having no interest in wild travel, he still vividly remembers the scene when he touched lobsters when he was a child and almost drowned. After that, he was once bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes for river ponds.

Knocking, knocking, Terry didn't hesitate, and quickly installed the gate for Chi Heng, and also helped him secure the door lock, and allocated two keys.

Chi Heng took out the money to pay the bill, Terry said very brightly: "If you have any troubles in the future, you can continue to call me, this is my phone number."

He handed Chi Heng a note with his phone number on it, which should have been torn from a notebook temporarily and prepared in advance.

As soon as Terry left, Chi Heng took out the cleaning equipment he bought, first briefly cleaned the door, and then went in to clean the kitchen. After cleaning like that, another hour passed.

Looking at the time, it was almost 04:30 in the afternoon, Chi Heng didn't dare to delay any longer, got in the car, left, and headed for Dok Town.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, I just arrived at the supermarket in Dock Town.

Since he chose to live here, the things he bought in the morning were not enough. Chi Heng went to buy sheets and quilts, kitchen utensils, and a small weeding machine. After spending all of this, he lost another $560.

The cashier was still that girl, and she looked at Chi Heng with great interest, "Hey, why are you here again? Where do you live?"

Before Chi Heng could answer, she introduced herself: "My name is Sarah Lopez."

"Justo Chi."

After Chi Heng also introduced himself, he inquired, "Can I ask, is there anywhere nearby that sells electronic products?"

"What electronics?"

the girl asked back.

"Mobile phones, computers, etc."

Chi Heng said: "I didn't see these sales in the supermarket."

"Oh."

The girl nodded: "We don't sell mobile phones and computers here. You can either go to the O'Neill mall in the town to buy them, or go to Wilder's to buy them... I suggest you go to Wilder's, his It has everything, and it's a lot cheaper."

She carefully told Chi Heng where Wilder was.

This is a warm-hearted girl, youthful and lively, full of girly air, if the freckles on her face make Chi Heng uncomfortable, she is a pretty good girl.

Saying goodbye to the supermarket, Chi Heng got in the car and drove the pickup truck, and headed to the Wilder electronics store before the sky was completely dark.

According to the girl's instructions, Chi Heng didn't go around for too long before he saw the LED signboard of Wilder Electronics Store.

It is said to be an electronics store, but in fact there is only one facade, not a big one, and there is no one at the door. Chi Heng regretted it a bit, but he has come, so he got out of the car and walked into the electronics store.

Once inside, the shelves on the left and right sides were filled with various electronic products, but Chi Heng was inexperienced, so he could tell that these products were definitely second-hand, because they had all been unpacked, and the surface of the packaging box was covered with dust. The boss is too careless, he doesn't even want to clean it.

A young man with curly hair is buried in the back of the workbench, soldering a circuit board. The workbench is full of messy electronic products. If you remove the screws, you may not be able to find them in a blink of an eye.

Chi Heng had doubts about the girl's enthusiasm. That Sarah Lopez could not be the babysitter of this electronics store, could she?Well, maybe the other party is right, the electronic products here are cheap because they are all second-hand.

The movement of Chi Heng entering the store still disturbed the young man with brown curly hair. He raised his head, and he was probably only in his 20s, no different from a college student.

"Oh, what's the matter?"

he asked.

"I want to buy a PDA with GPS navigation."

Chi Heng straight to the point explained the purpose of his visit.

"GPS navigation?"

Young people are interested. Nowadays, there are very few civilian electronic products with GPS navigation. Many people don't even know what GPS navigation technology is.

"I haven't seen you before," the young man stood up, "Did you just come to Dock Town?"

He continued on his own, "I don't have many PDAs with GPS navigation here, and one is broken. The only one that works is Mio168. You wait here."

The young man got into the door and heard the sound of rummaging inside. Soon, the young man came back, took a packing box, gently opened it, and took out a PDA.

"Well, there is electricity."

After the youth turned on the phone, he handed it to Chi Heng.

It's obviously a second-hand phone, but it's new and shiny, without much use.

"Mio168 is the world's first navigation device with a built-in GPS module launched by MiTAC two years ago, and it is also the first GPS handheld device using the Microsoft Windows Mobile Pocket PC-2003 operating platform. It is the world's most compact portable satellite positioning and voice navigation system, in which the GPS satellite receiver is built-in, and it can be used immediately after turning on the device without installation, which is very convenient."

The young man enthusiastically introduced to Chi Heng and helped him how to operate it. He was still talking about the specific parameters of this navigation PDA. He didn't need to read the manual, as if all the data were clear in his heart, and he could say it casually.

"It adopts Intel PXA-255 300MHz microprocessor, light and thin, weighs only 147 grams, uses high-brightness 65k color and semi-transparent color liquid crystal film display, and LED backlight module, and has a 'one-key navigation' design , allowing drivers to easily switch between GPS and Pocket PC with a single finger."

"There are also built-in navigation maps of North America and Europe, 12 life information queries, including gas stations, parking lots, restaurants, etc..."

I have to say that this PDA is very good, and the color vividness of the display is almost unmatched in the mouths of young people, if Chi Heng has not seen electronic watches and that display.

However, after experiencing it, the 3.5-inch semi-transmissive screen of this PDA, with a resolution of 240×320 and a color of 65, is no different from a blind screen in Chi Heng's eyes.

"Wait a minute," Chi Heng interrupted the continuous introduction of young people, "What if the place you use doesn't have an electronic map?"

"No electronic map?"

The youth did not understand.

"I mean, if there is no electronic map for the place you navigate to, how can you still know where you are?"

Chi Heng explained.

"This kind of situation is rare. It has all the road information in the United States built in it," the young man suddenly realized. "If you want to use it to explore, it is also possible. Even if there is no corresponding electronic detailed map, it will also display the specific Longitude and latitude data, you can zoom the size of the map and roughly determine your own orientation."

Hearing this, Chi Heng understood that since the latitude and longitude data can be displayed, it will be easy to handle.

"how much is it?"

Chi Heng groped for the PDA and began to inquire about the price.

"Its listed price is US$599," the young man propped up his glasses. "Although it is a second-hand product, you have seen it. It is very new and has no traces of use. You can take it away for US$299."
