Mio have released the first TV-enabled satnav units in the UK, the Mio Navman Spirit TV. First shown at the launch of the Spirit range back in May, the Spirit TV will be available in two versions – the 4.7-inch V505 and the 7-inch V735 – each with a touchscreen, Google search, TruMap and Junction views and of course Freeview digital TV with autotuning.
MiTAC Mio today announced a new range of Navman PNDs, together with previewing an upcoming 7-inch touchscreen PND with integrated digital TV tuner that’s expected to drop sometime over the summer. First to reach the market will be the Mio Navman Spirit S300, S500 and Flat, each with integrated traffic receivers, touchscreen GUIs and text-to-speech directions. Mio have also thrown in their latest “Spirit” UI, which supports kinetic scrolling, and keyword search based on Google technology.

Navman have announced its latest GPS device, the Spirit S100, which squeezes a 4.3-inch touchscreen, NavPix geotagged photo navigation and SiRFInstantFixII into a casing just 13.5mm thick. The S100 has a bevel-free display with Navman’s “Glide Touch” interface; gestures such as tap and slide are recognized, similar to those on the iPhone, for use with the predictive text address entry system that can read out each letter typed. The S100 also has text-to-speech turn directions.
