- 3-D map content with detailed landmark graphics and road elevations offer
travelers an intuitive way to explore new surroundings -
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 7 /PRNewswire/ -- A leading worldwide supplier of
personal GPS products, Mio Technology Corporation is showcasing its new
4.3-inch C620 car navigation system equipped with the latest Tele Atlas 3D
map content in its booth (LVCC South Hall 4, Booth 35344) at CES 2008.
The newest 3-D European map content from Tele Atlas sports life-like
3-D representations of major landmarks so users can navigate European
cities with an unparalleled sense of realism. Users can preview hundreds of
famous European landmarks -- such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris or Coliseum
in Rome -- on the C620, and see them come to life.
For an enriched user experience, the latest maps also offer new
graphical point-of-interest (POI) icons right on the map, allowing easy
identification and location of nearby POIs, such as gas stations, parking
facilities and more. The C620 also displays road and land elevations
through the Tele Atlas(R) Digital Elevation Model, helping users
differentiate ground-level roads from elevated roads and see the contours
of the surrounding landscape. The device also features convenient 3-D
junction views, which allows users to clearly see the details of complex
intersections and interchanges.
With its 4.3-inch widescreen display and intuitive split-screen
interface, the C620 is easy to use and hassle-free to operate. There is no
need for users to shuffle through a multi-layered operating menu to access
different functions. Using the split-screen interface users can scroll
through maps, view driving instructions, manage song lists and receive
incoming hands-free calls simultaneously.
The Mio C620 with Tele Atlas(R) 3D Landmarks and Elevation Model is
currently available in select Western European markets.
Key Features:
-- Intuitive split-screen interface
-- Realistic 3-D junction views
-- Life-like 3-D representations of major European landmarks
