German brand Medion announced 3 new GPS navigation systems at IFA 2008 recently: P5235, P5435 and X5535.

The main feature of these is the very big screen that measures 5 inches compared to the highly common ‘large screen’s that only measure about 4.3 inches. However the resolution is always of 272×480 pixels (WQVGA).

These 3 Medion sat navs have the same design but differ in featuers. They all integrate a RDS/TMC receiver, but the Premium service is in optional on P5235 and standard with P5435 and X5535.

They all have an FM transmitter to send navigation directions or MP3 audio to your car’s sounds system. P5435 and X5535 also integrate a handsfree bluetooth kit. A biometric reader is also integrated to make your GPS safer.

X5535 is the most advanced out of the three since it has a gyroscope to simulate a position fix in the event of a loss of satellite signal.

P5235, P5435 and X5535 measure 14.7×9.4×1.8 cm and use a SiRF Titan processor which runs at 600 MHz.

The GoPal 4.5 navigation software is provided by Medion and this European version comes preloaded with radar locations, text to speech feature and the ability for voice recognition. The maps are from Navteq and is from 2nd quarter of 2008.

Medion P5235, P5435 and X5535 will be available in September and will cost 249 €, 299 € and 349 € respectively…
