GC: Sony announces Go!Explore GPS system for PSP
Satellite navigation for in-car or pedestrian travel
Sony has just unveiled a new satellite navigation package for PSP at its press conference at Games Convention.
Due for release in the New Year and utilising the very latest in map data from market leaders TeleAtlas and NavNGo, Go!Explore combines in-car and pedestrian GPS navigation for Sony's handheld.
The package incorporates a GPS receiver and a UMD containing your chosen maps. Go!Explore supports 11 unique audio languages on every geographic version: English, German, French, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Finnish.
As with current GPS applications, the system is future proof, and as such has access to upgradeable maps & points of interest (POI) that can be purchased via the PlayStationNetwork. Additional maps, POI, downloads and other Wi-Fi features will be made available in the future.
Also available to accompany Go!Explore are the Car Adaptor and Car Mount accessories, which will be bundled together.
Currently, seven geographic versions confirmed (with country maps, hundreds of 3D landmarks and thousands of POIs available): UK/Ireland; Iberia; France; Germany/Austria/Switzerland; Italy; Benelux; and Scandinavia.
No price details have been released at this stage.
