Sep 18, 2007 gps navigation

Korean brand LG is adding a new high-end GPS navigation device to its LN family – a successor to LN 700 which we talked about here at Navigadget before. The new GPS navigation system will simply be called LN800 (and LN800T).

LG LN-800 has a 4″ screen with a 320×240 resolution which is unusual since at this size we would expect the usual 480×272 pixel resolution. This new model uses GPS SiRF III like many others and the maps are stored in the internal memory. The navigation software is Destinator 6 with maps supplied by Navteq. LN800 has voice synthesis making it possible to announce the street names during voice guidance.

Compared to the LN800, the LN800T also includes RDS/TMC traffic receiver.

More features:

• Integrated SiRF III GPS receiver with integrated antenna
• 4 inch touch screen with 256K colors, 240×320 pixels resolution, and 300 cd/m² brightness
• Centrality Atlas 2 processor at 276 MHz
• 512 MB of ROM
• 64 MB of RAM
• SD slot
• Mini USB 1.1
• 1W speaker
• 3 hour battery life
• weight: 200 G
• Windows CE.Net 5 OS
• Destinator 6 navigation software with preloaded radars and 2006 Q4 maps from Navteq
• text-to-speech
• Image viewer
• Audio player

LG LN800 (and LN800T) will be available in September for 200€ (and 300€). It would be also be useful to point out that LG LN800 is already out in Australia and if you are curious you can read the review and the other review.via
