Blaupunkt TravelPilot 700 and 500 overlay nav info on realtime video

Blaupunkt's TravelPilot nav units have never really stood out from the pack, but it looks like that's about to change -- the new TravelPilot 700 and 500 feature an integrated camera that displays realtime video with nav overlays on their 16:9 screens. That's definitely a novel and intriguing feature, but there's not a lot of information on how it works or what kind of hardware is under the hood to keep it running smoothly -- with the 700's estimated list price of $740, we're guessing it's pretty beefy. Both units also feature voice control, DVB-T traffic, live traffic, Bluetooth, and the usual PMP features, and the 700 also has a browser, email app, and VoIP client that work over Bluetooth tethering with your phone. Yeah, definitely intriguing -- hopefully we'll see this thing make it Stateside soon. Video after the break.

blaupunkt TravelPilot Amsterdam NAV35E

blaupunkt TravelPilot Amsterdam NAV35E

If you need to give your console a retro look or do not want to clutter with fancy touch screen displays you maybe interested in the TravelPilot Amsterdam NAV35E from Blaupunkt. It is all black and white and it doesn’t even show maps. Just an arrow that tells you when and which direction you need to turn. It is very basic but it still can take you from A to B.

TravelPilot Amsterdam NAV35E does however carry some high end features such as an internal gyroscope to help out when GPS signals are weak, ability to receiver traffic information, navigation instructions in 10 languages, and the onboard memory to free up the CD player if you want to listen to music.

If the monochrome screen does not appeal to you check out the newer TravelPilot Rome NAV56E.

NAV35E is only available in Europe.
