Mio have followed up from their Moove V500 & Moov V700 digital TV enabled portable navigation devices with the launch of two new UK specific Navman series digital TV PNDs – namely the Mio Navman Spirit V505 TV and the Navman Spirit V735 TV.

The new Navman PNDs, apart from boasting freeview digital TV tuners with auto tuning and 7 day EPGs, come with 4.5″ and 7″ widescreen touchscreen displays and, to underpin their entertainment credentials, additionally come with integrated FM tuners and PMP capabilities taking in video and digital audio (mP3) playback as well as offering digiframe functionality allowing the devices to serve as portable digital photo albums.
