Panasonic’s Portable Navigational System

The Strada CN-GP5OU is Panasonic’s first portable navigational system. It will cost $499.95 and will be available just in time for Christmas.

“The Strada CN-GP50U PND delivers everything consumers are looking for in a cutting-edge portable device – one of the widest screens on the market, sleek styling for added portability, an SD Memory Card port for swift downloading and a highly friendly user interface.

Panasonic certainly isn’t shy in promoting their expertise, the CN-GP5OU offers :

• Ease of use
• High performance
• Digital networking
• Voice command
• GPS Assist – an electronic compass to compensate when GPS reception is interrupted

The good news continues: “The Strada CN-GP50U is the ultimate travel companion, providing quick and easy access to maps and 1.8 million searchable Points of Interest in 51 categories, such as gas stations, airports, hotels, restaurants, hospitals, ATMs and historic landmarks. Its generously large 5-inch (diagonal) touch panel LCD screen is easy to read but compact, slim and easy to carry.”

Perfect then, add in a GUI with contrasting icon colors, a SD Memory Card and pre installed NAVTEQ mapping software, and you have the perfect portable navigational device – according to Panasonic!
