Sony debuted at CES with its new the NAVU-U NV-U83T is one of 2 new GPS devices by Sony. The Sony NV-U83T boasts a spacious 4.8-inch touch screen, and you can perform certain operations with the swipe of your finger. The Sony NV-U83T is a seemingly attractive in-car GPS with a large display and useful navigation features but its hard for the U83T to compete with the other GPS navigators in the market because of its ugly side with poor directions and subpar performance.

The NV-U83T features an extralarge 4.8-inch touch screen and with its 480×272 pixel resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio, maps are nice and easy to read on the unit.The U83T is also featured with  text-to-speech, real-time traffic and gesture command controls, nearly 5 million points of interest, 2GB of embedded memory,Bluetooth hands-free calling capability and Sony’s “Position Plus” engine, which offers an approximate location when the unit can’t connect to the GPS satellite. The Sony NV-U83T include a unique feature called Gesture Commands that enables you to perform certain functions by “drawing” symbols on the touch screen with your finger. Satellite acquisition time is erratic and route calculations weren’t the most efficient one in the U83T.

Features:

* 4.8-inch color touchscreen
* Realtime traffic updates
* Bluetooth capable for handsfree conversations
* Gesture command
