GTV-580 sat nav with digital TV

June 24, 2008

GTV-580 is the latest GPS navigation system from GlobalSat. It has all the usual stuff such as the SD memory expansion slot, basic multimedia features (WMA and JPG support), and the 4 hour battery life.

In addition to the basic stuff GTV-580 also has higher end features such as the spacious 5? screen with 480×272 (WQVGA) resolution, bluetooth hands free connectivity to pair up with compatible phones, which includes services such as auto-reply mode, phonebook download, and music playback.

The other biggest features that sets this GPS navigation system different from the rest is its digital TV receiver so you can watch various TV shows on your device (hopefully when you’re not driving).

Some of the digital TV specs are as follows:

* Build-in EPG Functions
* Supports MTS and Subtitle (Based on Region)
* Supports Auto Scan/ Manual Scan mode
* AV-OUT function

We don’t when or from where you can pick up the GTV-580 yet but we’ll be sure to let you know once we find out.
