Sony has put Ireland on the map with the unveiling of its nav-u portable navigation device, now available with full NAVTEQ mapping for the entire Republic from Dublin to Galway and Donegal to Kerry. The device covers all cities, towns and villages, enabling drivers to get turn-by-turn directions to and from addresses throughout the country. Coverage includes over 5,000 points of interest (POIs), including hotels, fuel stations and sports facilities, as well as internal and international ferry routes to Britain and France.

The Sony NV-U50 showcases a 3.5” high-quality touch screen display with an extra-wide 80° viewing angle – allowing the front-seat passenger to see the display. Plug-and-play operation is complemented by a smart cradle with on an easy installation suction cup featuring one-touch release.

The high accuracy positioning of the Sony GPS chip and a long lasting battery ensure that users will never be lost again, say the manufacturers.
