Sanyo was among the first to cram solid state storage into navigation systems when
it did so back in May of last year. Nearly 12 months to the day after said introduction, the company is delivering its newest duo, which ups the ante by including "SSDs" (which is likely just a fancy title for flash storage) that are four times as capacious. The NVA-GS1409DT and NVA-GS1609FT systems, which are both in the AV Gorilla family, each boast a QVGA (480 x 240) display, 3D maps, an integrated DVD player, CD ripping functionality and even a digital TV tuner for catching OTA shows whilst parked in Tokyo traffic. There's also a 16GB slab of flash memory, half of which is already claimed by maps and POIs; still, that leaves 8GB of super-speedy storage for hosting your favorite playlists. Unfortunately, such a sweet solution demands quite the premium, with prices on the June-bound units starting at ¥135,000 ($1,423).

oh... another GPS... intresting... what they should do is make a touchscreen MID and put it in their instead :]
i think it does ther are buttons on the screen either that or you use some kind of a control
Sanyo overestimates the multitasking capabilities of us petty humans. Last I knew, I was not able to see House and drive at the same time.
Hopefully you don't hurt anyone else when you remove yourself from the gene pool.
Ah, I thought it was Adobe Flash.
My Garmin unit is looking better each day.
Err, QVGA is 320 x 240, not 480 x 240.
8GB of maps and POIs? Doesn't that seem like alot?
