Clarion Presents 3D Navigation Systems for Europe


The MAP780 for Europe and the MAP680 for UK & Ireland are Clarion’s newest portable navigation devices (PND). Their most prominent feature is that map buildings, landmarks and elevation changes are shown in 3D. As you can see in the screen shots, buildings close to the driver appear see-through when approached, so as not to obstruct the view of the next junction, whilst buildings further away are textured and solid, making them more recognisable as reference points. -Continued

Clarion has also incorporated detailed lane information for the first time on its new PNDs, with all lanes available rendered in 3D, -the one needed is highlighted. Moreover, both PNDs are equipped with a Bluetooth system that allows the display of SMS (text) messages on-screen, as well giving touch-screen access to a paired phone or PDA, whilst audio streaming (A2DP) and MP3/WMA playback is also possible via a built-in music player.
