JVC launches the KV-PX70 for Europe

Dec 8, 2006 gps navigation

JVC had already announced the KV-PX9 in the United States at the beginning of year, but nothing for Europe. They fixed this very recently, presenting the KV-PX70 for the European market.

It has a good set of featuers such as the SiRF Star III GPS chipset, a big wide screen, hands free Bluetooth kit and a RDS/TMC recevier.

Something that caught our attention is that JVC’s KV-PX70 looks very much the same as Medion’s 470L, both the hardware and software.

Here are the features:

• Integrated SiRF Star III GPSReceiver
• Samsung Processor at 400 MHz
• 4.3 TFT touch screen w/ 65K colors, 16:9 format and 480 x 272 pixels
• Integrated Tranffic Information receiver
• Hands free bluetooth kit
• 5 hour battery life
• Microsoft Windows CE.net 5.0
• Text-to-speech
• MP3 player
• Image viewer
• 1GB SD memory card with maps of France and Europe without borders

It will be released as early mid-December this year and should cost about 500 Euros. ($660)
