Sep 26, 2008 gps navigation

60’s famous Italian sports car Abarth is back (aka Fiat 500) and seems to have some sort of branded GPS navigation system that is customized for racing tracks.

It is called Blue&Me Nav and basically it is a navigator interfaced with the car through the Blue&Me system. It comes equipped with a 2GB memory card that offers maps of Itay as well as the white and yellow pages for the whole country.

With the addition of race tracks to this GPS navigation system drivers will be able to access additional details such as the position of the car over the track and of course lap times. Drivers can also store relevant details on the card and create a personal profile to keep track of their progress. In addition the device can also collect and display information about the engine such as RPM, gear, speed and more.

For those who purchase Blue&Me Nav with the vehicle – and it is available on most Fiat cars – the car will also be equipped with a keypad placed on the ceiling lights to command the services offered on the device which also includes bluetooth to sync with your mobile phone and a USB port to connect to media players. It also does voice commands.
