They can be used as Hands-free systems due to the support of Bluetooth interface and built-in mic. There is the support of MP3 music playback from SD cards. There is a peculiar thing about these navigators, they have a database of road cameras, which stand for policemen with radars in Europe. The system will notify the driver about the places the cameras are set or supposed to be set. Dimensions are small – 110x70x20 mm and weight 170 g.

The approximate price for the C510E makes up 239.99 pounds ($445) and for the C710 – 359.99 pounds ($665). The kit contains windshield mounts, a car charger and a USB-cord.
