Fujitsu Ten has unveiled a new satellite navigation system that will work with the iPhone, the AVN-F10i. This innovative device not only provides driving directions in your car but also features an iPhone app that will guide you back to your car, ensuring you never lose track of where you parked.
As well as the iPhone app, the company has also developed a couple more applications, which include TwitDrive, which will let you use Twitter and also a built-in news reader called ‘Car News Reader.’
Advanced Features of the AVN-F01i
The Fujitsu Ten AVN-F01i sat nav features a 7-inch touchscreen LCD display, providing a clear and user-friendly interface for navigation. The large screen ensures that maps and directions are easy to read, reducing distractions while driving. Additionally, the device comes with an 8GB SD card that stores the maps, ensuring that you have ample storage for detailed and up-to-date navigation data.
One of the standout features of the AVN-F01i is its built-in 1seg TV tuner. This allows users to watch television broadcasts directly on the navigation system, providing entertainment options for passengers during long drives. The integration of a TV tuner is particularly useful in Japan, where 1seg broadcasting is widely available.
Additional Applications and Connectivity
Beyond its primary function as a navigation system, the AVN-F01i offers several additional applications that enhance its utility. The TwitDrive app allows users to access Twitter directly from the navigation system, enabling them to stay connected with friends and followers while on the go. This feature is particularly useful for those who rely on social media for real-time updates and communication.
The ‘Car News Reader’ app is another valuable addition, providing users with the latest news updates directly on the navigation screen. This ensures that drivers and passengers can stay informed about current events without needing to use a separate device. The integration of these apps demonstrates Fujitsu Ten’s commitment to creating a multifunctional device that goes beyond traditional navigation.
The AVN-F01i also boasts seamless connectivity with the iPhone, allowing users to sync their devices effortlessly. This integration enables features such as hands-free calling, music streaming, and access to iPhone apps directly from the navigation system. The ability to use the iPhone app to guide you back to your car is particularly innovative, providing peace of mind in crowded parking areas or unfamiliar locations.
It will only be available in Japan and will go on sale in July, and it is expected to retail for about $1,120. This price point reflects the advanced features and multifunctionality of the device, positioning it as a premium option in the market.
