Sanyo release 2 new generation AV Navigation systems
Sanyo just introduced two brand new in-dash GPS navigation systems with solid state drives instead of the usual DVD based or hard drive based systems. The advantage with SSD will mainly be in terms of speed since reading the maps without having to spin things is a lot faster.
Two versions are available NVA-MS1280DT and NVA-MS1180DT with 8GB one the NVA-MS1280DT (4GB SSD + 4GB SD card) and the NVA-MS1180DT which only has 4GB of SSD.
Both has a 7” QVGA screen, but only the NVA-MS1280DT feature a DVD player. If just having 4GB of SDD is bit lame (32 would have been perfect), the major advantage here is that SSD are MUCH more reliable than HDD when it comes to vibrations.
Both devices will be out in June and will cost $1750 and $1500
