Medion GoPal PNA 460, 465, 470 Widescreen GPS

Monday, June 16, 2008


Medion has launched a broader GPS line by adding three new widescreen flat form factor GoPal devices - the GoPal PNA460, GoPal PNA465 and GoPal PNA470. All three are light (about 7 ounces), and small 5.4″ x 3.8″ x 0.8 “. Of course all offer navigation with 2D and 3D views, spoken guidance and are pre-loaded with NAVTEQ maps as well as interestingly enough Berlitz City Guides for 50 european cities. A speed camera database is also pre-loaded. All feature the SiRF star III chipset.


The entry-level GoPal PNA 460, with its 4.3-inch TFT widescreen has UK and Ireland maps loaded on a 256MB card. The unit also has a nice little MP3 player and picture viewer.

The three units are available in teh UK and are priced at £199, £259 and £299, respectively, which is about $350, $460, and $530.

The GoPal PNA 465 adds TMC traffic to help get around traffic jams, while the GoPal 470 includes integrated Bluetooth.

This all just underlines my thoughts that so many electronics firms are coming out with Flat Form Factor GPS units, that Flat, and WIDE are the future of GPS devices.
