Panasonic Jumps Into The Portable GPS Game

I'm a huge fan of Panasonic's electronics. I use their video equipment, audio equipment and tons of other awesome Panasonic goodies. Well now I'm excited to hear that they are transforming their Strada in-dash GPS units into a portable device.

Panasonic announced today that they will be launching the Strada CN-GP50U which will sport a 5-inch touch panel display, Navteq maps of US, Canada, PR and Mexico, 1.8 million POIs, Bluetooth , and Voice Command for setting destinations without touching the screen.

"On the heels of a successful debut of our in-dash navigation system in Spring 2007, we are proud to bring to market our first portable device," said Rob Lopez, national marketing manager for Panasonic's Mobile Electronics Division. "The Strada CN-GP50U PND delivers everything consumers are looking for in a cutting-edge portable device - one of the widest screens on the market, sleek styling for added portability, an SD Memory Card port for swift downloading and a highly friendly user interface. "

The Panasonic Strada CN-GP50U Portable Navigation Device will be available in December 2007 with an MSRP of $499.95.
