New NDrive G800 becomes first to use real images for maps
GPS units usually don’t use real, actual images for navigation purposes, rather just display a road and signs. However, NDrive has managed to get images of the United Kingdom and Ireland - no word on exactly how they did this. Unfortunately, it won’t be available in other markets, only in the UK and Ireland.
Otherwise, it’s pretty much an average GPS, coming with a 4.3-inch TFT LCD touchscreen with a 480 x 272 resolution, audio playback, video playback, photo display, e-book reader, game support, an FM transmitter and Bluetooth capabilities for hands-free calling. Additionally, memory can be expanded via SDHC cards, and the G800 has support for many formats including WMA9, MP3, WAV, WMV, AVI, ASF, JPG, GIF, BMP, PNG and TXT. Another neat thing is that if you live in other parts of Europe, you can buy maps for those countries. For NDrive to incorporate real images for every place is pretty amazing, no word either on how much internal space these images take up.
The G800 is set to cost 268 Euros (around $420 US) and is currently available.
