Viliv N.70 – a multimedia GPS navigator    [ 06-05-2006 01:22 ]

Author: Klimov Oleg   Source: akihabaranews.com     Translation by:     

Ever more manufacturers combine functionality of several devices in one product. The Korean company Viliv followed this way and offered a GPS-navigator called N.70, which can also cope with playback of multimedia content.

I’d mark its high-quality 7” 480x234 pixels LCD, which can show streets of a city as well as TV-programs (it supports DMB broadcasting).

As for the GPS-navigation the N.70 is equipped with the traditional SiRF Star3 module. The device powered by WinCE 4.2 can be used as an ordinary media player for audio and video, the sound is communicated via built-in speakers and you can operate the playback with a remote control. There are SD and СА slots, so you can view photos. The price tag is about €500.
