goodyear GY500X
Nov 5, 2008 gps navigation
The NCC just announced that they’d be manufacturing Goodyear branded GPS navigation systems called GY500X.
GY-500X will be targeting truck, RV, motor home drivers and apparently will have more than just a ‘commercial mode’. We’re not sure what that really means but the features include commercial routes, height restrictions, weight, and weight/axle restrictions, and special POIs such as weigh stations, truck stops, and diesel gas stations.
As far as hardware you’ve got a 4.3″ screen, bluetooth antenna for pairing with cells phones, and FM transmitter for car stereo integration.
There’s no word on and pricing just yet but you can expect to pick them up as soon as the first quarter of 2009.

it’s a nice idea that you have decided to make a gps aimed at asisting truck, rv’s and other commercial vehicles; I hope it includes buses also. I would also think that the screen size should have been larger, at least 6.5 to 7 inches. I think would only make sense since you are targeting larger vehicles.
