Navigon teams with Rand McNally to put a little travel in your PND

Not that we haven't seen navigator manufacturers partner up with travel companies before, but it's still pretty rare to hear of a PND maker looking out for the travelers and not just the completely lost crowd. Here at CES, Navigon has just announced a partnership with Rand McNally (the first of its kind, we hear), which will result in Scenic Routers and City Guides from the aforesaid firm being available on Navigon devices. The guides will provide over 250 scenic routers and pre-planned trips across all 50 states (we're guessing the Road To Hana made the cut?) and Canada, and there's also information on the best attractions and landmarks in more than 1,400 US / Canadian cities. The new data packs will be available on select Navigon units as well as in retail outlets and Navigon.com this Spring for $19.99 each.

when you abbreviate about something, please include the full term first then subsequently, use the abbreviations. PND? It took me a bit of googling before realize what is PND. Please don't assume (ass-u-me) that everyone know what you're talking about. Thank you for your consideration.

Please when pointing the lack of full terms for abbreviations, and subsequently looking those abbreviations up let the rest of us know what it is. I still don't know what PND is.

So..??? What is PND?

[Mark Schultzman @ Jan 7th 2009 8:50AM]

If I understand this correctly...The device is actually pretty neat and you don't even have to be a member of AAA.

In Rand McNally land, hamburgers eat people!

PND is an abbreciation for Personal Navigation Device

What's a "scenic router"? Is that like a Cisco box at the Grand Canyon or something?
