The last GPS announced by Pioneer, is probably the best one they announced so far. It combines all the features present in the AVIC-F900BT as well as the AVIC-F700BT and then some. Some of the new features include 3D landmarks and the audio quality is greatly improved, with Hi-voltage pre-outs. Otherwise, like all of the AVIC-F series, it comes with a 5.8-inch WVGA screen, 12 million points-of-interest and of course Bluetooth.

Larry Rougas, Vice President of marketing and product planning for the mobile business group, has this to say regarding the AVIC-F GPS units:

Just yesterday in Europe, the Pioneer AVIC-F500BT, which is now known as the NavGate 500 was announced officially. This new GPS is a very nice one but is sure to cost you a lot of Euros, but if you’re looking for a high end model, this is definitely one to consider.

It starts off with its nice, big touch screen, which measures in at 5.8-inches. It has a 800×480 pixel WVGA resolution, which is similar to the HP iPAQ 310, and the Garmin Nuvi 5000. Other features include Bluetooth capability, RDS/TMC module for live traffic information, voice prompts, a 600 MHz processor, and a SiRF Star III GPS chip.
