Prestigio Technologies Ltd. has released its first GPS navigation device GeoVision 350, featuring latest SiRF III chipset, 3.5” touch-screen display, 300 MHz Intel CPU and 1 GB built-in memory. GeoVision 350 is the first device in Prestigio’s new GPS Navigation product line .

Prestigio GeoVision 350 is the right solution to help you reach the desired destination with minimum efforts and expenses.

The superb navigation capabilities of Prestigio GeoVision 350 are ensured by the SiRFstarIII which is the latest high sensitivity GPS microcontroller chip. The SiRFstarIII is distinguished from earlier SiRF chips and from other GPS chipsets largely due to its faster Time to First Fix (TTFF) and its ability to acquire and maintain a signal lock in urban or densely covered forest environments. The SiRFstarIII chipset is known for its superior sensitivity and tracking capabilities.

The unit has a rechargeable internal lithium-ion battery that provides up to 3 hours of use. Compact in size, the GeoVision 350 provides fairly large screen viewing area, but it won’t demand a lot of room on the dashboard or in the backpack.
