blaupunkt TravelPilot Lucca 5.2
Jan 10, 2007 CES 2007, gps navigation
Blaupunkt will be introducing a new GPS navigation system in the U.S. which they showcased at CES 2007. It is called TravelPilot Lucca 5.2, and if we’re not mistaken it has been around in Europe for a while now.
The new TravelPilot Lucca 5.2 will include entire maps of U.S. and Canada pre-loaded. It will feature multimedia capabilities such as video playback, support for rear-view camera, MP3 player, and image viewer.
The Lucca 5.2 will ship with a special car cradle that can connect to your car stereo and provide multimedia support through your car’s speakers. Lucca also has good support for graphics. The maps looks smooth and well animated and you have the ability to view it in 2D or 3D.
Other features of the software include ability to plan trips with multiple stops, speed limit warnings, and ability to download speed camera locations which will be available via internet this year.
UPDATE: (Jan 12th 2007) Apparently the model shown in the picture above is Blaupunkt’s next generation model which is expected to come to U.S. late in 2007 (Q3 or Q4). Currently they have the TravelPilot Lucca MP3 Edition which began shipping in December 2006. MSRP for that one is $700.

Hello!
I have exactly the same experience with my new Lucca 5.2.
Did you solve the problem with the video files?
If so, how did you do it?
Grateful for all useful information…!
Kind regards
