Sony NV-U75 GPS navigation system
Sep 19, 2009 gps navigation, sony
Sony just revealed a new GPS navigation system in Japan called the NV-U75.
Sony NV-U75 comes with a 1Seg TV tuner – something we don’t have on the States side. Sony went with a 4.5″ touch screen on the device, just 0.2″ larger than most others out there – which gets them to the WQVGA size. As far as storage, Sony NV-U75 comes with 8GB of internal storage which is definitely enough for maps with room to spare. For hands free calls from the comfort of your vehicle they’ve also included a bluetooth receiver in there. If you have a KDDI Phone you can even send your friends your location.
Sony likes to put gyro sensors in their devices and the NV-U75 is no exception. This is the technology that guesses your location when GPS signals gets weak. Very useful when tall buildings, tunnels, and heavy foliage gets in the way…
