Alpine PND-K3
Published on August 13th, 2008 in gps navigation
Alpine is expanding their navigation system lineup; this time with PND-K3 which we had mentioned back in January.
PND-K3 is now official and has an MSRP of $550. For this price you get a 4.3″ touch screen with 480 x 272 resolution, maps of all U.S. states, plus Puerto Rico and Virgin Islands, 6 million POIs, text-to-speech which pronounces street names, and bluetooth to pair up with your cell phone.
As far as locating your position PND-K3 is quite advanced. It uses three different inputs: 1: the satellites. 2: gyro technology to sense the vehicle’s direction and 3: accelerometer technology to measure vehicle’s speed.
Alpine PND-K3 has 4GB of internal but no video or image viewing capabilities. However it handles your MP3 and WMA files just fine. For more info visit Alpine USA.

How well does this device handle screen refreshing and does it seem ‘underpowered’ by the hardware? I remember the Alpine Blackbird which was plagued with issues of slow updates and consistently seemed as if the software was running on hardware barely able to keep up…
