Sony’s Stylish In-Dash Navigation System
One of the foremost players in the electronics industry is Sony. Their list of goods is enormous, manufacturing everything you can envisage in the electronics field. The sat navs system that they are generating is the sony xnv 770bt model.
The navigation system that sony have added in this model is the TomTom. Loads of folk would favor the Garmin navigation in their in-dash systems, but I find there is not much to choose between the two Sat navs systems.
I generally like the TomTom, as it has a few features that are not included in the Garmin, and do all the things that Garmin does. One of the best features of the TomTom is that they have very precise and up to date maps. These maps are updated in real time, by users who give feed back as they travel.
For the first year sony contain free map updates with the xnv-770bt model. It also has over 1 million more miles of road maps compared to other gps receivers.
You can be guided through the most complicated intersections with the advanced lane guidance feature, which gets you through without difficulty and safely. The quick GPS feature predicts the position of the satellites, which allows you to get on your way a lot sooner.
The “help me” feature permits you to access information very fast, which also allows you addresses of police stations and hospitals. In case of an accident this feature also has first aid instructions, that can be very useful.
I presume the best feature of the TomTom is IQ routes. Actual traffic speeds are applied to make a determination the best route, not the actual speed limit for that particular road. Six million drivers contribute to the information that is gathered for IQ routes.
The Garmin has a feature called ECO route, which can determine routes based on the measure of fuel wanted for the route. This receiver also gives you data on your CO2 emissions, which is awesome for the people who have concerns about the environment. Junction view is similar to lane guidance. The auto re-route that Garmin offer, can automatically program an alternative route if the original route has traffic congestion ahead. It all depend on what features that you prefer, when the time comes to determine which navigation receiver to purchase.
The xnv-770bt has all the playback options you would predict from an av receiver. This unit has awesome sound quality with a built in MOSFET amplifier and a seven band equalizer. You get a home theater like experience with the sophisticated sound engine and center stage optimizer. Make and receive hands free phone calls on the sony xnv770bt with the built in bluetooth technology.
Charge and control your iphone or ipod with USB 1 wire. You may also connect other compatible USB appliances to this unit.
With the TomTom included in the sony xnv770bt which has some very likable features and exceptional sound quality, this is an wonderful av system. As this is one of Sony’s first head unit, it is as good as any on the market today.
