Amazon.comSony NVU94TManufacturer’s Review (September 2, 2008)In addition to excellent navigation and convenient handsfree communication with your cell phone the Sony NV-U94T Portable GPS Navigator is also loaded with such entertainment features as an audio/video player, photo viewer, and Bluetooth stereo music streaming capabilities. But first and foremost a portable navigation system, the NV-U94T offers Sony’s POSITION plus solution to difficult GPS reception conditions for navigation assistance even while under dense foliage or tall buildings. And it can receive real-time traffic updates with the RDS-TMC receiver built into its cradle and a 90-day trial with the Traffic Message Channel (TMC) service. Other features include pre-installed maps for North America, over 5 million points of interest (POIs) with quicker searching, a 4.8-inch screen with Gesture Command, text-to-speech capabilities, and support for Memory Stick Duo media. The NV-U94T portable navigation device also features a photo viewer, audio/video player and stereo Bluetooth technology for streaming audio and making hands-free phone calls. GPS signals can easily be distorted by tall buildings, very dense foliage, or blocked altogether when underground, and when this happens a GPS device can easily give a false location. Sony’s POSITION plus feature is a unique, hardware-based solution that consists of an acceleration sensor, a pressure sensor and a gyro sensor that together can calculate the vehicle’s current position based on the last known GPS location. The result is a more consistent and accurate position that helps provide interruption-free guidance under the most difficult of GPS reception conditions. Enjoy powerful, portable navigation (more…)
