ViaMichelin X930 now in US

Dec 7, 2006 gps navigation

ViaMichelin is now availabe in the U.S. Today we got the word from their PR people that the first model they’re offering in North America would be the X930. The X930 is a pocket sized GPS navigation system that only measures 4.8″ x 2.8″ x 0.7″ and weighs 4.7 ounces. The 3.5″ screen can give you directions in either driving mode or pedestrian mode and supports 2D or 3D display. Other nice touches are the ability to save your favorite destinations (why would you need directions to your favorite place is another question), auto saving of your last 10 locations, speed warnings, and the anti-glare screen. ViaMichelin X930 supports English, Spanish, French, German, Italian for both the user interface and voice guidance and comes with a 1GB SD card that includes maps for the entire U.S.

The package contains car mounting bracket, stylus, car & wall charger, and some navigation DVD. It is already for sale on Amazon for $300.

UPDATE (Feb 2007) : Wow, now it’s only $200.
