Iriver has presented a new PNS - Portable Navigation System - known as CaroNavi. It will be released on the Japanese market next week, on December 19th, with a price tag of €250 which is close to $320.

In terms of specifications, the CaroNavi uses MapPlus software made by Edia, and is compatible with audio + video files, such as WMV for videos, and MP3, WMA, or OGG for audio. The LCD touchscren on the CaroNavi measures 3.5-inches and provides a resolution of 320×240 pixels, while the internal flash memory has 2GB of storage, but it can be expanded thanks to the slot for SD memory cards. Since this is a Portable Navigation System, it must be light and that is why it only weights 137 grams.

In the world of navigation devices there are GPS and PNS - with the latter standing for Personal Navigation System. That’s the kind of product that Sanyo introduced in the market, the two new systems are codenamed NV-SD750FT and NV-SB510DT.

The only difference between both devices is the size of the display screen, while the NV-SD750FT has a 7-inch LCD touchscreen, the SB510DT has a smaller one at 5.2-inches.

With that being said, both devices sport 4 GB of storage capacity via SSD, a dual TV Tuner, and support SD memory cards.
