Eclipse AVN726E

Eclipse AVN726E

We just talked about Eclipse AVN4430 and Eclipse AVN726E but we thought the Eclipse AVN726E deserves its own post since it also is a ‘Innovations 2009 Design And Engineering Award Honoree’

The AVN726E, essentially a next generation of AVN, provides ‘full-on in-vehicle entertainment’ and achieves superior image quality with pure digital video circuitry, improved audio performance with lowered distortion using premium parts as well as memory-based navigation, creating a next generation AVN unit.

Eclipse AVN726E has a 7″ screen and also provides GPS navigation but not detachable like the AVN4430. The specs are not yet revealed for Eclipse AVN726E.

Eclipse AVN4430

We’ve mentioned the AVN2210P numerous times here on Navigadget but we got the news that TomTom and Fujitsu Ten are getting together once again to release Eclipse AVN4430.

Along with AVN726E, Eclipse AVN4430 will be named the ‘2009 Design and Engineering Award Honorees’ at the CES 2009 in Vegas. Keep in mind two years ago AVN2210p was rewarded the same title.

The ‘AVN’ abbreviation stands for ‘audio visual navigation’ and as far as specs all we know is that:

The AVN4430 is a secure dash-mount audio/visual/navigation system with portability, has a TomTom PND integrated with ECLIPSE superior sound & visual quality and offers exclusive benefits with co-branded technologies.

However just looking at the press photo we see that AVN4430 has a detachable 4.3″ TomTom GPS navigation system, and bluetooth connectivity.

Alpine PND-K3 Review

Alpine PND-K3 Review

Not well known for their GPS products, Alpine is known for their quality car electronics. Their PND-K3 GPS is a widescreen (4.3-inch) gps that comes with US and Canada NAVTEQ maps preloaded, Bluetooth handsfree calling, with text to speech capabilities. The unit features a new interface that was not carried over from its older models. The K3 also comes with advanced positioning that allows the unit to maintain its approximate location when it goes through tunnels. This is type of capability was also debuted on the TomTom GO 920. I found it effective driving through Boston's Big Dig tunnels. The Alpine PND-K3 offers a split screen view when you are heading through difficult intersections on the highways. As one would expect from Alpine, they offer music player functionality that will accommodate MP3 and WMV files. Load your songs on an SD Card (up to 4GB) and supports decent functionality including playlist creation.

CNet recently put up their review of the Alpine PND-K3 and rated it middle of the road. It offered decent navigation, and quick route recalculations when a turn was missed, but they didn't always agree with the routes picked as the best way to get to their destination. Battery life, rated for 2 hours, barely met that hurdle. The price can be steep, but the interface is much improved.

GlobalSat TR-151 Vehicle/Asset Tracking

GlobalSat TR-151 Vehicle/Asset Tracking

If you’ve ever been concerned about losing a precious asset such a truck, car, or boat, then I’d highly recommend the GlobalSat TR-151. This unit is equipped with a highly sensitive GPS/GSM/GPRS tracking system that can send longitude and latitude coordinates of your vehicle’s location directly to your cell phone. The TR-151 is small enough to hide in just about any crevice or empty space in your vehicle and has an extremely durable, waterproof outer shell.

Its Li-ion battery holds a steady charge for long periods of time while powering other features such as motion detection and live sound monitoring as well. While using the TR-151, some consumers have found it is extremely important to have the latest firmware loaded onto the tracker. Without keeping the unit up-to-date on a regular basis, it may perform less than adequately. However, these updates are very easily accessible through GlobalSat’s website. With theft and crime rates on the rise, it is imperative to combat this problem and protect your hard earned assets with TR-151 tracking device.

Navigon's 8100T GPS Has 3D Terrain-View Maps

Navigon's just announced a new high-end GPS unit, the 8100T, that actually displays the right terrain in its map representations. Dubbed Panorama View 3D, the system uses NASA-derived height data to accurately recreate the inclinations of the road as it crosses terrain ahead of you. The unit's also got a 4.8-inch screen, includes free traffic data updates for life, voice recognition for destination entry and the company's Reality View junction lane-assistance tech. It's due out this month for $599. Press release below.

NAVIGON, the leading innovator in the navigation market, today announced the launch of its new flagship product, the NAVIGON 8100T.

With a handsome, brushed-metal housing and an expansive 4.8’ display, the NAVIGON 8100T is an über-premium GPS navigator offering an unmatched feature set for those looking for the best navigation experience available – a perfect hybrid of style, substance, performance and precision. It is the first GPS navigator on the market with NAVIGON’s revolutionary Panorama View 3D. This new feature brings a true 3D experience to the map using NASA terrain height data to provide geographic guidance complete with rolling hills and digital elevations. The unit’s extra-large 4.8’ widescreen serves as the perfect frame for the panoramic 3D views.

The NAVIGON 8100T offers Free Real-Time Traffic Updates for Life – automatically alerting drivers about traffic issues ahead and rerouting with the touch of a button. Features like Voice Destination Entry, Reality View™ Pro and Bluetooth® Hands-Free make navigating roads easier and less stressful. Employing NAVIGON’s next-generation software, the 8100T is a top performer, requiring very few clicks to enter a destination.

‘The NAVIGON 8100T raises the bar on innovation and design in the PND category,’ said Michael Roach, NAVIGON’s president for the Americas. ‘Once again, NAVIGON is at the forefront of market innovation by introducing real 3D environment views to the market with Panorama View 3D.’

The NAVIGON 8100T sells for $599 (MSRP). It hits online retailers in November 2008 and is available with NAVIGON’s breakthrough optional FreshMaps, which provides up to 12 map updates over three years for $79.99 (MSRP).

The NAVIGON 8100T features include:

• Panorama View 3D. True 3D environment views come to the navigation experience. The road ahead is displayed with surrounding landscapes and digital elevations. This detailed geographic guidance helps drivers see what lies ahead. The impressive views are supported by a built-in graphics accelerator.

• Free Real-Time Traffic Updates for Life. Real-time traffic updates allow routing around congestion by including traffic flow, incidents and alternate routes and works for the lifetime of the product right out of the box without any registration processes, fees or additional hardware. Across 95 markets in the U.S. and Canada, the NAVIGON 8100T will alert drivers of traffic troubles and provide alternate routes.

• Voice Destination Entry. Advanced voice recognition allows drivers to specify their destination by simply speaking the address. NAVIGON’s distinctive iconic interface guides the users through the process.

• Uncompromising Design. The 8100T takes NAVIGON’s love for design to a new level. The silver brushed-metal housing serves as the ideal frame for an extra-large 4.8’ widescreen display. The complementary premium car mount echoes the design of the 8100T, plus it has additional functionality too. The charger is built-in, users simply dock the device on the mount and it automatically stays charged.

• Reality View™ Pro. Never miss an exit again with the next generation of Reality View –providing more coverage in more places. Reality View Pro displays photo-realistic 3D views with actual road signs and lane guidance for virtually every highway interchange and exit that drivers will encounter.

• Fast Destination Entry. The latest generation of NAVIGON software makes entering and finding information fast and simple with fewer clicks. NAVIGON’s SmartSpeller feature helps guiding through the entry process.

• Bluetooth® Hands-Free. The integrated Bluetooth® feature helps keeping both hands on the wheel while still staying connected. The NAVIGON 8100T acts like a Bluetooth speakerphone to hold conversations without all the distractions. As an added feature, Microsoft® Outlook contacts can be imported to the NAVIGON 8100T with NAVIGON Sync.

• Advanced Text-to-speech. Spoken Directions with Street Names lets drivers keep their hands on the wheel and eyes on the road with advanced phonetic text-to-speech technology to ensure proper pronunciation of streets.

• Exit Guide. NAVIGON’s Highway Exit Guide enables users to search upcoming exits for one of six POI categories – food, gas, lodging, rest areas, auto service or shopping. And, with one click, the NAVIGON 8100T navigates there.

• DirectHelpSM. Help is a click away with this DirectHelp, providing instant driving directions to and contact information for nearby hospitals, police stations, roadside assistance, and pharmacies.

telenav shotgun

telenav shotgun

Yes, long time GPS navigation software maker TeleNav is jumping into hardware business and announcing their very own GPS navigation device Telenav Shotgun. Just like most others Telenav Shotgun has a wide 4.3″ touch screen, built-in speakers, audio jack, and rechargeable batteries. However Telenav Shotgun puts itself a step above the rest thanks to its two way connectivity features.

Two way connectivity translates to a bunch of features that make your driving a lot easier. First off it has real-time traffic which looks for trouble spots along your route every five minutes, internet connected search with an initial database of 11 million entries, quarterly updates maps and business listings, ability to send addresses to your device wirelessly from any computer, and the ability to upgrade with new features and applications.

Telenav Shotgun costs $300 but of course that are monthly fees involved. $12/month, or $129/year, or $240/2 years (but first 3 months is free). The last business that tried this didn’t last very long so we’ll have to wait and see how Telenav does in the hardware business.

Omnitech 4 Widescreen GPS

Omnitech 4 Widescreen GPS

The Omnitech 4 GPS is another entry level unit at en entry level price in the ever expanding GPS arena. The maker of all things electronic has its GPS entry that offers several key features that make it an interesting value. The 4.3-inch screen unit has text to speech, maps of the 48 states, and 1.5 million Points of Interest (a bit light on POI here - see my post on How Many Points of Interest is Good). The internal battery is rated for up to 5 hour's use.

I first wrote about an Omnitech about a year ago, and saw some trouble around the internet. I continue to see poor comments. The trouble here is that when you take a look around at the consumer feedback on this unit, it's pretty bad - with buyers citing it freezing up, and just dying.

TomTom GO 630 announced

TomTom GO 630 announced

RadioShack has landed yet another exclusive deal for the holidays; this time it's the TomTom GO 630. The 4.3' navigator sports many of the same features found on the popular TomTom GO 730 -- IQ Routes™, Advanced Lane Guidance, Voice Address input, TomTom MapShare™, text-to-speech and Bluetooth for handsfree calling.

What appears to be missing is an FM transmitter and MP3 player. And the Radio Shack specs page cites just 3 million POIs; I suspect that's a bit less than most TomTom units.

The TomTom GO 630 lists for $399.99 and is available immediately.

Intelligent Digital Compass

Intelligent Digital Compass

Intelligent Digital Compass is the name of this little widget that is expected to come out this January. It is not a navigation system or a GPS data logger but merely a device to mark your position so you can always get back there. Quite simple but can be very very useful.

It can store upto 3 locations and after you’ve locked that position all you’ll have to do is select one of them and hit return. It’ll show you the direction you need to head and the remaining distance. The LCD screen also shows a battery indicator, GPS signal status, and it is backlit so you can use it in the dark.

There are other tools that are similar such as the Bushnell BackTrack or the Nolan Olympic Guidemate.
