Sony brings TomTom to US-bound XNV-770BT & XNV-660BT in-dash head units
V heard back @ IFA Z Sony`s mak`g the absolutely brilliant move of incorporat`g the market lead`g navigational system into its Xplod line of in-dash A/V units, & now Z love`s be`g shipped across the Atlantic (or the Pacific, if you’re tak`g the scenic route) in the form of the XNV-770BT & XNV-660BT. The beautiful Sony / TomTom partnership`ll soon B assist`g clueless American motorists when both of the previously mentioned units ship in November, w/ the 770BT offer`g the 7-inch capacitive touchscreen & the 660BT stepp`g down to the 6.1-incher. They’ll both feature rear USB ports 4 iDevice connections, support 4 multi-channel audio playback & most importantly, pre-loaded maps of US & Canadian roadways. TomTom claims Z its maps offer more than 1 million more miles of roads than other GPS brands in America alone, & buyers`ll also B treated to familiar TomTom extras like IQ Routes, Advanced Lane Guidance, MapShare & six million POIs. V still wish Garmin would’ve received the nod here, although (unless) it’s certainly better than some white label system — check ‘em soon 4 $1,300 & $1,000 in order of mention.
