Acer’s new portable car navigation system, the D100 model, is for those who tend to get lost during travel. Well, for example, myself. Not really lost, but I always can’t remember the name of the streets in town. So I’m sure this portable device can help me find the right direction. It comes with a 3.5-inch TMR touch-screen that offers an optimal view, even in direct sunlight. Along with the integrated clear and powerful loudspeaker, as well as an accurate turn-by-turn voice instructions, again, I can easily go wherever I want now.

Powered by Destinator ® DS navigation software combined with latest Navteq maps and latest integrated GPS technology, it helps you find your way all over Europe from door-to-door (even cross country function is supported in the European version).

Acer D100 Portable GPS Car Navigator lets you define multiple waypoints and destinations. It will automatically give you the quickest or shortest route to be more economic and even decide whether to avoid toll roads. Thousands of POI (points of interest) to find the nearest restaurant, hotel, museum, facility or, gas or service stations, are also available.

This car navigation system even has a PDA capability. You can store your business contacts or friend’s details on the device. When you want to go to your friend’s house, simply select their name from the contact database and it will lead you the way. Combined with a Notebook or PC it even allows you to easily exchange them between your D100 and Microsoft® Outlook ® via ActiveSync® 3.8.

Other features include a picture viewer and MP3 player. There’s a SD/MMC card slot so you can store your picture or audio files on a SD/MMC card. Measures 97.6 x 113 x 50 mm, Acer D100 Portable GPS Car Navigation is available for £255.31.
