Sony does sat nav

Life

IF you fancy an in-car sat nav device so you can find your way from Ballina to Ballydehob, then Sony just might have the answer.

More famed for its in-car CD players, Sony is making a play in the sat nav market by launching a NVX-P1 Personal Navigation Device (PND). The NVX-P1 promises to make in-car navigation simple with its plug-and-play operation, extremely easy installation and coverage for most of Europe.

The NVX-P1 features a 2Gbyte hard drive, and comes pre-loaded with maps for all of Western Europe (21 countries), with the exception of Greece. It is also supplied with an easy-fit cradle and cigarette lighter power socket for easy installation, and easy transfer from one vehicle to another.

It features a large, 9.5cm high-quality display, fully prepared for the in-car environment, a 3D map view and a smart re-routing engine, making it easy for users to navigate towards their destination. An intuitive Graphical User Interface (GUI), and multiple viewing modes make user operation simple. In addition to this, voice guidance is available via a built-in speaker.

The device retails for EUR*879.
