An acceleration sensor and a pressure sensor interpret vehicle motion to provide more stable, reliable positioning information, even when GPS signals are degraded or briefly unavailable. This "Position plus" system eliminates the annoying distraction of "frozen" screens when GPS information is temporarily lost. It also reduces the risk of incorrect position and route information being displayed - a major cause of driver frustration that can compromise safety at the wheel.

The unit's colorful, informative user interface takes full advantage of the 4.3-inch widescreen display. Operation is positive and fuss-free thanks to large, easy to use buttons and icons to enter destination information and select other functions. Frequently used commands like "take me home" or "find the nearest fuel station" can be made with a quick, simple stroke of a finger on the large touch screen. This unique "Gesture Command" improves driver safety and concentration by reducing the need for fiddly option selection or scrolling through on-screen menus. For safer calling while on the road, it can also dial a hands- free call to your home number on a Bluetooth equipped mobile phone with a single gesture.

With the Bluetooth Hands-free calling you can also call any number in the phonebook of your Bluetooth equipped mobile phone or call a new number using the intuitive keyboard.
