In addition to the recent GPS systems that Pioneer revealed, there is another one codenamed AVIC-MRZ088. As it happens with the 4 others, it will be included on the carrozeria series. So far there isn’t exact information about the price, but the features seem pretty good.
The AVIC-MRZ088 boasts a “big” 5.8-inch touchscreen, and instead of a normal hard-drive it comes with flash memory which in this case has 8GB. The head unit features a 2-DIN system, and on the front there is slot for SD memory cards.

Navigon today announced the new Navigon 2000S. Navigon 2000S seems like a mid-range GPS navigation system with the price of an entry level system. It will cost $199 and will have a 3.5″ screen when it hits the stores in October.
It features the Reality View Pro which talked about before when covering Navigon 7200T. Reality View Pro is very helpful at complicated highway intersections with its 3D view that even include actual road signs. There’s also the Lane Assistance Pro which can tell you which lane to merge to.
Other features include ‘fast destination entry’ which really should be standard these days on a device with a mini virtual keyboard. This is the feature that grays out keys that can’t be in an address. Text-to-speech is also a very nice feature you can find on Navigon 2000S.
As far as hardware you’ve got:
- ATLAS III AT642D-XAC, 375MHz processor
- 3.5″ touchscreen display
- SiRF GRF3i+ GPS chip plus InstantFix II
- Micro SD card slot
- 64 MB DDR SDRAM/2 GB mDOC flash
- USB 1.1 port
- Non-removable 740 mAh lithium ion battery
- Measures 3.8″ x 2.9″ x 0.7″
- Weighs approx. 4.3 oz
