Catering to users who require a top-notch PND for their GPS navigation needs, ASUS, producer of high quality handhelds, has released the
ASUS R700T Automobile GPS.
2D maps can be slightly more difficult to understand when looking at complex intersections, so the new 3D map function is a welcome change for drivers. With a panoramic view of the navigation route, full 3D representations realistically display the surroundings with geographical illustrations and detailed road information – allowing users to easily and conveniently view their GPS positions in real-time. The 3D maps will turn, move and stop as the driver does the same, and will provide pan and zoom options to view nearby streets.
With Bluetooth 2.0 handsfree calling support, this Automobile GPS provides users with fast transfer speeds, better voice quality and safer operations. Building Bluetooth connections automatically via auto-ping, it also provides echo cancellation for clear audio for conversations, shows the caller name when calls are incoming and can automatically answer incoming calls after 5 seconds. It can even speak out SMS content to allow drivers to concentrate more on their driving without the need to handle the device.
The R700T also contains a built-in auto light sensor that automatically optimizes the backlighting of the LCD panel. This safety feature not just saves power, it allows users to view navigational directions whether it is night or day; or even when driving in a tunnel. With this feature, users will get optimal lighting to view directions without straining their eyes or drawing too much attention from driving.
Additionally, a convenient and intuitive interface provides you with a user-friendly interface that consists of a touchscreen control with icon-driven operations with a large virtual button for simple navigational directions that includes vibrant colors and pictures. The super large 4.3 inch wide LCD screen further enhances ease in operability by allowing users to see more roads, lanes and points of interests (POI) on the screen – allowing them to get on their way faster.
The GPS R700T is a portable communications and multimedia center that can let you enjoy listening to MP3s, watch videos, and browse pictures - making it your best companion anywhere. The built-in FM Transmitter allows to broadcast phone conversations, navigational directions; and voice out SMS in the vehicle speakers - allowing users to enjoy the best quality acoustics for their listening pleasure.
The built-in TMC (Traffic Message Channel) provides real-time information on traffic conditions and allows users to be notified of accidents, road diversions, traffic jams, traffic light breakdowns, parking lot vacancies and so on. When the route passes into a traffic obstruction, the R700T navigator is able to automatically calculate and lay a new navigation route to bypass the traffic jam via an alternate route. Additionally, it can provide weather forecasts for major cities – allowing users to plan well for a happier drive.
