Traveling to your favorite destinations has never been this easy. The nav-u portable satellite navigation system has a sleek, 4.3" touch-panel widescreen display and can be easily mounted in almost any vehicle. The brilliant, high-contrast full-color graphical interface is also intuitive and fun to use. Whether it's a trip across town or cross-country road trip, the nav-u satellite navigation system makes the perfect travel companion.

Features:

  • 4.3" Wide and Slim Display
  • Dual view - 3D Junction Guide
    Dual View capability displays dynamic route information, in addition to the conventional map view, to provide an even clearer view of what’s around the bend or in a highway merge scenario, which Junction to take.
  • Pre-Loaded Maps and Content
    The NV-U83T comes pre-loaded with Map Content covering the entire United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico. Enjoy powerful, portable navigation out of the box!
  • TTS (Text To Speech)
    TTS (Text to Speech) also eliminates second-guessing when making a turn; the device utilizes spoken commands ensuring you are able to follow the directions by street names.
  • Gesture Command
    With a touch-screen comes control via simple, on-screen finger movements. Commonly used commands such as ‘take me home’ may be accessed by gesturing an inverted ‘V’ on the screen versus paging through numerous menu screens.
  • RDS-TMC Traffic Messaging Channel
    Step away from standard GPS mapping and towards a more complete navigation solution. Real Time Traffic Information radio reception allows the NV-U83T to constantly monitor relevant traffic conditions and automatically re-route you around trouble spots!
  • Super Suction Cup Mount
    Using the Sony-unique Super Suction Cup, mounting a Nav-U portable satellite navigation system to either the dashboard, console, or windshield in virtually any vehicle is quick and easy. Stable and secure while driving, the Nav-U portable satellite navigation system can be easily removed whenever you want to take it with you.

GPS is ok, would like other options
Reviewed by Not-so-sure (Frequent Traveler) from Wyo, PA on Jul 08, 2008
Verified Buyer
BOTTOM LINE No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
Does not show current location and how far you are to next hightway exit or past last highway entrance, in case you need to call for help. Takes a long time to find satellite and register your current location for planning a route. Hard to figure out how to zoom in and out. Have to type in full address, other systems give you options once you start typing the first letters of the streets, cities, etc. Magellan has a better system for entering addresses.
Cons: Doesn't process current, Acquires Satellites Slowly
Pros: Easy To Read
Best Uses: Finding Specific Address, Planning Trips
