With multiple map orientation views, you can select from 3D, North-Up, and Heading-Up, whichever view works best for you.

• Need a Guide?
  Turn up the volume and let K3 lead the way with turn-by-turn voice directions that speak street names (example: “Turn Left on Main Street”) If you’re more of a visual person, view turn-by-turn guidance arrows right from the screen to anticipate the maneuvers ahead.
• Advanced Performance
  Don’t fall behind with older, slower navigation systems. The PND-K3’s built-in speedy processor means faster route calculations, search results, map loading and zooming. Fast GPS reception lets you get on the road faster Three Advanced positioning sensors yield more accurate vehicle position so your navigation can pinpoint where you are and get you exactly where you want to go, even when driving through tunnels and around tall buildings.
