NDrive G800 gives Sat image overlay for GPS!

My favourite independent Mobile kit retailer, Expansys, mailed me the other day to let me know about this cheeky new bit of kit from NDrive. In a neat development, the G800 is a Sat Nav unit that is able to utilise Sat imaging, rather than the crude vector graphics we are used to normally.
Apparently 29 major cities are mapped currently, and I’m sure this will improve over time – and from the looks of things, you can decide your perspective on the viewing angle, much as you can zoom in/out with most Sat Nav units.
There are some neat other features too, highlights below:
- Choose between 4 diagonal perspectives, plus a vertical perspective to navigate in photo mapping
- Voice prompts/Dynamic Routing/Auto re-routing
- Routing Options – Shortest/Fastest/Car Mode/Pedestrian Mode/Tolls/Speed
- Multimedia features – plays music, videos, watch photos and read e-books
- FM transmitter – put your favorite songs in the G800 memory and listen to them on your car audio
- Bluetooth receiver – turn your NDrive G800 into a loudspeaker of your phone calls
- Games
- Calculator
If this whets your appetite, then I’d invite you to mosey on over to the Expansys site and take a look.
