May 30, 2009 gps navigation 23 Comments

Thinkware iNAVI ES300 is the latest GPS navigation system from the company. Get this though; this beauty is considered low-end in South Korea! It has a big 7″ screen, supports split views to show you amazing realistic 3D intersection view, as well as vicinity map with 3D buildings.

Thinkware jumped on the green band wagon and included the ECO Drive function which is supposed to discourage you from driving like a maniac and get you the most efficient route to your destination. As far as hardware this “low-end” GPS navigation system features brushed aluminum looking keypads, comes with 2, 4, or 8GB of space, has a nice 900mAh battery, and the ability to read SD cards. It costs somewhere between $260 and $340 depending on the storage space… Read More …

Here is a screenshot of a navigation software which we wish we had here in the States. Unfortunately it is only available in Korea. Speaking of Korea, we would appreciate if a Korean reader would translate this page for us. Thank you.

iNAVI K7: why can’t we have 3D maps like this?

Sep 9, 2008 gps navigation 5 Comments

Every time I see one of these Korean GPS navigation systems such as the latest iNavi K7 from Thinkware I can’t stop but compare it to what we have here in the U.S. The closest we can get is the new Reality View Pro from Navigon but even that is nothing compared 3D renderings by these guys. (I’m sure it is a lot easier for them to create these maps since South Korea is about the size of Minnesota.)

Anyhow, this device we’re so jealous about has a 7″ screen, 8GB SDHC memory card and 256MB of RAM/ROM. It also uses a geomagnetic sensor which can enhance your navigation experience by making up for the weak satellite signals you may experience when driving between tall building.

iNAVI K7 also features touch key with LED lights, supports multimedia functions such as DMB, video player, MP3 playback, etc. It has a detachable battery pack too. It will sell for 549000KRW… Read More …

iNAVI K2

Mar 27, 2008 gps navigation, software 24 Comments

iNAVI K2 has the best 3D navigation software we’ve ever seen so far. Of course it is from Korea; a company called Thinkware announced iNAVI K2, a GPS navigation system that has 8GB of space on SDHC memory card, comes with 256MB of RAM, and has a 4.8″ WVGA screen with 800×480 resolution.

What makes iNAVI K2 so futuristic is the fact that 3D structures are rendered with actual realistic images of the buildings. You can also expect to get complete lane information about the road you are on to help you with your next turn.

iNAVI K2 GPS navigation system also integrates a geomagnetic 3 axis sensor which detects absolute north pole and can calculate the heading of your vehicle even in stand still.

It will retail for 549,000KRW which is about $550 but that shouldn’t matter since you’ll never get your hands on one of these in the States… Read More …
