Italian company AvMap have announced that their Geosat 6 Drive Safe Satellite Navigation System, which comes with integrated breathalyzer allowing you to establish quite where you are concerning alcohol drink drive limits, as initially developed for the Peugeot 107 Sweet Years, is now available as a stand alone unit – and based on our (terrible) experience with Peugeot’s, the fact that it now comes sans Peugeot is certainly something worth celebrating.
Measuring in at 133mm x 83mm x 21mm, AvMap’s Geosat 6 Drive Safe Satellite Navigation System, apart from a built-in breathalyzer, comes with a 4.8” 16:9 widescreen touchscreen (billed as being the largest 16:9 GPS widescreen presently available on the market), Bluetooth allowing for handsfree operation, text-to-speech, a stop-planner ‘that enables users to plan stops for lunch or refuelling in their journey’ and a trip computer that ‘provides an overview of the journey, including average speed, top speed and stop time’.
Utilising a LEA-5S GPS receiver module provided by u-blox and powered by the 50-channel u-blox 5 positioning engine, at the time of writing AvMap, having seen fit to offer a press release concerning the Geosat 6 Drive Safe’s stand-alone availability have, rather curiously, consequently offered nothing in the way of either pricing or shipping dates. Very helpful.
