Ever thought about having a sat nav that showed you real images rather than animated 2D/3D ones? NDrive did, and its going to be the world’s first, their latest sat navs, the G280 and G800 will be the first to add some reality to your computer guided driving experience.
NDrive thinks by adding photo mapping to their sat nav, this will ‘heighten the senses’ and make it easier to see where you are and where you are heading. I agree with this and I think this will be a benefit, I use a TomTom Go myself when I need to go to places I’ve never been and sometimes it just completely confuses me as to where it wants me to turn, especially on smaller roads (but that might just be me!). The NDrive’s 3D photo mapping system will feature 5 different perspectives – 4 diagonal perspectives plus a bird’s eye view. The intuitive system will automatically choose the best perspective for you whilst navigating.
The G280 and G800 will feature visual and audible speed camera alerts, points of interest and UK/Ireland Tele Atlas maps on an 8GB memory card. European maps are also available on separate cards. The G800 has a larger screen (4-inch compared to 3.5-inch) as well as Bluetooth and an FM transmitter. Both feature a media player.
The G280 and G800 will be available at the end of April from Smart Devices, priced at £199 and £315 respectively.

I think you are right that it could be clearer but it is also a lot more info and can therefore be confusing.
Seems really hip though.

Definitely agree with you Jens, it could certainly be quite confusing, think about driving in some parts of London!
