SANYO Portable Navigation Gets You There on 'Easy Street'

Nov. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Finding your way on the road has never been easier than with "Easy Street," the new compact portable navigation system from SANYO. Simply touch the LCD screen to set your destination; then enjoy the automated convenience of voice guidance, turn-by-turn directions and the added safety of hands-free calling with Bluetooth-equipped cell phones.

The SANYO Easy Street NVM-4030, immediately available at $399.99 MSRP*, features a bright and easy-to-see 4-inch TFT LCD touch screen display for simplified, button-free navigation. The exceptionally compact NVM-4030 combines highly-accurate GPS navigation (no subscription required) with an industry-leading NAVTEQ digital map database featuring over 1.4 million points of interest to conveniently find the locations of airports, gas stations, restaurants, banks and hospitals along the route among other popular destinations. SANYO's NVM-4030 Easy Street navigation system uses Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) technology to help you get to your desired destination with reliability and ease. WAAS is comprised of satellites and ground stations that provide corrections to GPS signals for greater accuracy compared to conventional GPS solutions. The Continental U.S. map data and points of interest are included on a one gigabyte SD memory card which eliminates any need for a cumbersome download.

"The SANYO Easy Street NVM-4030 offers a wealth of most-wanted features, along with excellent value in today's booming portable navigation market," said John Lamb, Senior Marketing Manager for SANYO's Audio Video Division. "We've combined a convenient, large four-inch touch screen display with turn-by-turn voice guidance, Bluetooth hands-free calling and the convenience of MP3/WMA music playback into one sleek, compact and surprisingly affordable device. What's more, SANYO has designed Easy Street to be so easy to use that people can enjoy it in their vehicle within minutes of opening the box."

Users who own Bluetooth equipped mobile phones can benefit from the safety and convenience of hands-free calling with the SANYO NVM-4030. Whether placing outgoing calls or receiving them, the NVM-4030 can access the user's Bluetooth equipped cell phone even if the phone is buried in the bottom of a purse, stuck in the driver's pocket or located virtually anywhere within the car.

Simply add your phone contacts (up to 500) to Easy Street's built-in Contact List database and you'll never be without your most used numbers. The hands-free feature allows you to enjoy your conversation while helping you to keep your eyes safely on the road.

The exceptionally versatile SANYO NVM-4030 is more than compact enough to be transported easily from vehicle to vehicle as needed. Just slide it into a coat pocket, purse or backpack and take it wherever you go.
