Sony's Nav-U Personal Navigation System Features Driver Mapping Tools
Sony has launched the new Nav-U [Model NV-U71T] personal navigation system which "helps drivers map destination, locate points of interest, and avoid traffic congestion by providing alternate route choice". 'Ready to use right out of the box, this slimmer, easy-to-use device helps drivers map a destination, locate points of interest, find home again and avoid traffic congestion. With an included RDS-TMC real-time traffic receiver built into a supplied cradle, the device notifies drivers of heavy traffic areas and automatically gives them an alternate route choice. The real-time traffic service requires a separate subscription, but drivers will receive the first 90 days free of charge. For continued traffic service, a subscription will cost $4.95 a month after the initial trial period.'
