NDrive has released the first ever Sat Nav which incorporates photo mapping technology. This is supposed to deliver a better image than the 1D/3D images currently available in Sat Navs on the market today.
What photo mapping means is that the images shown to the user as they drive around are actual real life images so when you set your destination to the local gym, the roads you are taken on are indeed images that you see with your very own eyes!
This is great news for the Sat Nav market, as current Sat Navs using 1D/3D images are normally shapes and arrows have always been rather difficult to differentiate between which road the Sat Nav wants you to go down. However, with photo mapping, instead of imagining the road ahead the NDrive Sat Nav will give you crystal clear vision of your chosen destination.
With two new devices from NDrive, code named G280 and G800, boasting this technology, we’ll only have to wait until the end of April for their release to see if they live up to their claims. The prices range from £199 and £335, with both units also including, visual and audible speed camera alerts, a pedestrian mode for out-of-vehicle use, and other usual features you would find in a normal device. However, if you want to take it that one step further then the G800 offers also a built in Bluetooth and FM Transmitter.
We’ll just have to now wait and see what other Sat Nav giants will do to step up their game to be crowned worthy winners of the Sat Nav world…
