Sony is to
offer the GPS add-on for its PlayStation Portable gaming console to European
users.
Set for release in early Spring, the Go!Explore system comprises an
attachable GPS receiver and UMD disc containing the user's chosen maps including
3D models of cities.
The system has separate modes based on whether the user is on foot or in a
car. In pedestrian mode, users will be able to plot their way through cities in
3D thanks to the fully modelled maps contained on the UMD discs.
Users will also be able to download new maps and upgrades via Sony's online
PlayStation
Network.
Go!Explore uses map data from
TeleAtlas
combined with navigation software from
Nav N Go.
This addition marks part of Sony's drive to make the PSP a multifunction
portable device, as seen with the recent inclusion of
Skype
calling from the PSP.
Map packs will be available for most European countries in English, German,
French, Dutch, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Danish, Swedish, Norwegian and
Finnish versions.
The Go!Explore kit will be provided in three bundle options:
GPS receiver and UMD (including maps of the relevant country) for €119
GPS receiver, UMD, Car Adaptor and Car Mount for €149
PSP, GPS receiver, UMD, Car Adaptor and Car Mount for €299
