Asus unveiled its R710 portable navigation device (PND).
The Asus R710 PND is said to be the world’s first navigational
system to incorporate PathFinder HUD (Heads-Up Display) technology.

the driver. This eliminates the need to shift the users’ vision from
driving to the screen of the device.
Besides, the sleek GPS navigator features a large 5-inch touchscreen
TFT display with a resolution of 480 x 720 pixel , a support for
Bluetooth handsfree 2.0 functions with echo-cancellation chip, an
integrated light sensor and a 2 GB flash memory.
Running on Microsoft Windows CE .Net 5.0 Core version operating and
powered by Samsung 2443 400 MHz CPU, the Asus R710 also comes includes
64/128 MB SDRAM, a built-in latest SiRF star III chip, up to 8 GB
microSD card slot and USB 1.1.
At only 13.5 mm slim and 200 g in weight, the portable R710 has a
capability to display roads, lanes and points of interests (POI) on its
screen. Apart from directional support, the GPS device also allows
users to listen to MP3 songs, watch videos, and browse through pictures.
The pricing and availability of the Asus R710 PND are yet to be announced.
