Hands-on with Panasonic's Strada CN-GP50N

We finally wrangled some Panasonic reps around midday, then promptly convinced them to let us take the Strada CN-GP50N GPS navigator for a spin... in our hands. At a glance, the device comes off vaguely like a TomTom high-end model, or similarly-classed device, though we take a little issue with the kinda-sorta fugly UI, which produced violent 1997 flashbacks in the staff. Also, the interface seemed a bit slower than it should, with brief but noticeable pauses every now and again. Our word to Panasonic? Fix it up! Check out the gallery to see what we're lamentin'.

The graphics look pretty ugly to me..

Graphics looks actually pretty good compared to other Navi. Especially design of product, and this is only 5 inch I have seen. I like especially the GPS assist, speed control and Voice command features.
