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 800x480 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.

Maps are provided by TeleAtlas, which includes maps of 30 European countries - including Greece, Poland, the Czech republic, Slovenia, Croatia, Slovakia, Romania and Turkey. Also, it will be able to connect to your car stereo, comes with AV, USB port, a handy iPod connect, and an SD card.

Furthermore, expect this to be shipping in May costing around 699 Euros (I warned you), or about a little over a $1000 US.
