Sony PSP GPS officially launched in Japan
Aug 31, 2006 gps navigation, sony
Sony just officially announced the release of their GPS add-on for PSP. If you’ve been following Navigadget then this shouldn’t be a surprise as we announced this a while ago. We went through the trouble of translating the specs for you:
- Product name: GPS receiver
- Model name: PSP-290
- Sale day: 2006 December 7th
- Desired retail price: 6,000 Yen ($50)
- Reception frequency: 1575.42MHz
- Reception method: Channel 20
- Reception sensitivity: - 153dBm
- Capture: – 140dBm
- Determination renewal time: Approximately 1 second
- Determination precision: 5m (2DRAMS, – 130dBm)
- External size: Approximately 45 x 10 x 7mm (width x height x depth)
- Weight: Approximately 16g
- Contents: GPS receiver, private case
Now you may wonder what software will be using this GPS receiver? Can you use it with a game, could your PSP become a full featured GPS navigation system? The auto-translation isn’t perfectly clear but it sounds like Sony will let other software companies use their creativity with the GPS add-on and possibly something will be released on September 22nd.
The PSP private GPS receiver you can enjoy in the Kousei detail and the large picture only of PSP due to the combination with the corresponding software. We propose the entertainment of the new genre which makes life pleasant presently at software manufacturer each company and this corporation navigation and the action which are in the midst of developing, with, the software of wide genre such as planetarium and golf from the real practical tool to the game.
The PSP private camera and the “GPS receiver” with the corresponding software this year September 22nd (the gold) from with Makuhari is held displays in the SCEJ booth of Tokyo game Show 2006.
