Navman Announces Ultra-Slim S100 GPS
October 10, 2008 | by Nick Mokey
The flagship S-Series model boasts a long list of features including NavPix for photographic points of interest, 3D landmarks, and a depth of just 13.5 millimeters.
European GPS label Navman expanded its line of fashion-savvy satellite navigation devices on Friday with the release of the new S100. It’s one of the few GPS devices on the market to brag of its slim dimensions (just 13.5mm thick) but doesn’t cut features short to make room, with text-to-speech, an MP3 player, 3D landmarks and other perks on board.
Among the S100’s most unique features: a capture button for taking coordinate snapshots of memory-worthy locations, so they can be returned to later. Find a killer viewpoint on a mountain road or a tiny farm market out in the sticks? Mark it for later and you can always come back. The unit also comes with NavPix, which lets you download photographic points of interest from Navman’s library and view them as you go.
Other specs include a 4.3-inch display, 3D Junction views that illustrate complicated intersections and real sign data, and a SiRFInstantFixII GPS unit for quick signal acquisition.
True to its Euro roots, the S100 will debut in the U.K. (with maps to match) in November, priced at £200 ($340 USD).
