Comments (1)

ViaMichelin's, a subdivision of automotive tire company Michelin, is rolling out their newest navigation unit the X-970.

The major feature that ViaMichelin is pushing is their integration with their exclusive Michelin Green Guide content. X-970 users can go to ViaMichelin.com to plan upcoming trips by dragging and dropping restaurants and other destinations onto your unit. The Michelin Guides are highly regarded in Europe and ViaMichelin is hoping to bring this success to the US.

The new unit will feature the usual text-to-speech, Bluetooth, real-time traffic capability, SD card slot and sports a 3.5" screen.

X-970 is expected to hit retail stores soon with a street price of $349.
