Sony's Nav-U NV-U83T portable navigator offers a panoramic 4.8" anti-glare display for safe viewing and ease of use on the road, plus a host of features to keep you informed. This slimline travel companion comes preloaded with detailed maps of the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico, plus millions of selectable points of interest. Follow the map in 2-D or 3-D mode and listen to the voice prompts as they tell you when the next turn is coming up — text-to-speech technology lets the voice prompts announce actual street names at each maneuver for easier guidance.

Talk hands-free with Bluetooth
Built-in Bluetooth compatibility means you can make and receive hands-free phone calls using your compatible cell phone through the Nav-U. The NV-U83T's screen gives you access to most of your phone's menu functions, and you can carry on your conversation through its built-in speaker and microphone. You can find dining or lodging in your area and call ahead while your phone remains safely stowed away. 

Stay ahead of traffic
The Nav-U includes an RDS-TMC traffic-information receiver that gives you up-to-the-minute updates on congestion along your route. When you see traffic up ahead, you can then quickly route around the problem and be on your way. The RDS-TMC traffic-info service covers most metropolitan areas, and subscription fees apply after the included three-month free trial period expires.

Handy navigation extras
The Nav-U NV-U83T provides extraordinary guidance so you'll always know where you are. A built-in accelerometer monitors your car's position when you lose the GPS signal temporarily, so you'll know exactly where you are once the signal is regained. Its junction guide provides split-screen closeups of complicated intersections, with extra detail to ensure you won't miss that turn, ramp, or exit. 

The Nav-U's "gesture command" feature routes you instantly to your home or a recent destination with one simple finger motion across the screen. Explore your neighborhood or unknown spots across the country with confidence using this handy feature. The convenient "Voice/Position" button lets you hear the next voice prompt ahead of time.
