Garmin developing PNDs to support One-segment and T-DMB, say sources
Following the March 4 launch of the nuvi 900T PND that supports DVB-H mobile television, Garmin reportedly is also developing portable navigation devices that will support One-segment mobile digital video broadcasts in Japan and the T-DMB standard used in South Korea, according to market sources in Taiwan.
While most PND makers are venturing into the DVB-T segment, Garmin decided to initially cater to the DVB-H market to differentiate itself from rivals, the sources noted.
The nuvi 900T features a bright, 4.3-inch WQVGA touch-screen display and allows users to play MP3 audio files, audio books from Audible.com and pre-loaded games, according to Garmin.
The nuvi 900T can be paired with compatible phones using Bluethooth wireless technology for hands-free phone calls, the company stated.
In other news, Garmin also recently launched new models of its 2x5-series entry-level PNDs, with some models being built with GPS chipset solutions from Taiwan-based MediaTek.
The nuvi 2x5 models are available with a 4.3- or 3.5-inch screen with an all new shaded elevation mapping display.The new models also feature 333 MHz microprocessors which greatly enhances the map drawing and routing capability, according to the company.
