Neo N7 GPS navigation system
Many people now rely on their GPS navigation system to help them get around unfamiliar territory, making holidays better planned and more fun in the process. The Neo N7 GPS navigation system is different from the rest of its brethren as it uses 3D rendering to help you get a better grasp of your location. Granted, there are certain segments of the population who are extremely poor when it comes to reading maps, which is exactly why a 3D version would greatly help in getting one’s coordinates before moving on to the next point of interest.
Some of the Neo N7’s features include a large 7″ TFT color display which can show up to 16,000 colors, which falls short of them standard 65,000 colors on other comparable devices. The resolution of 800 x 480 pixels make it great for watching all your favorite movies and videos which are stored on an SD/MMC card. Underneath the aluminum casing also lies a SiRFStar III GPS chipset and a dual core CPU which might look like overkill at first glance, but upon further probing, one realizes that displaying maps in 3D is no mean task.
The presence of a dual core processor also means the consumer will have to fork out presumably more money to obtain a Neo N7, which could potentially alienate prospective buyers. Powered by the Windows CE 4.2 operating system, the Neo N7 doubles up as a Microsoft Office document viewer courtesy of the generous screen. In case you run out of ideas for songs, the FM transmitter will be a welcome addition.

3D Rendering on the Neo N7 GPS navigation system on In Technology Says: January 19, 2007 at 4:57 am
[...] I have had different GPS devices for a few years now and every time I get a new car I want GPS in it, that’s just me and I know there is portable devices but however you get it I feel when travelling GPS is a must have item. This GPS navigation system does things a little different by using 3D rendering to help you a little more with getting an idea where you are. I am not sure on this myself as I have not tried it but I have found with other GPS systems that the more simple they are the easier they are to use (just look at TomTom). The Neo N7 GPS navigation system includes a 7inc TFT colour display that only has 16,000 colours (standard for most screens is 65,000 colours), Powered by the Windows CE 4.2 operating system, Microsoft Office document viewer, dual core CPU for displaying maps in 3D and SD/MMC card slots for playing movies and music…not bad features but still not sure, what do you think.
