Pioneer AVIC-U310 BT Satellite navigation system is a double DIN satellite navigation system, which meets three different needs; GPS Navigation, Digital audio playback and bluetooth facility.
Pioneer AVIC-U310 BT Car Navigation System has a removable touch screen display of 4.3 inches. Its high responsiveness to touch inputs makes it easier and faster to use. A speciality with its display is that, this detachable screen has a battery of its own. The screen has noGPS antenna of its own, thus, it cannot be used as a portable navigation device.
Pioneer AVIC-U310 BT Automotive Sat Nav has an expandable memory using SD card and the slot is provided. This can be used to input data for navigation functions. Besides, there is another way of transferring data through its Mini-USB port. PC synchronization is also possible with this. Even though Pioneer AVIC-U310 BT supports audio play back of MP3 or WMA file formats, there is no provision for video play back. Another disappointment with it is the lack of pre-amp inputs.

Pioneer AVIC-U310 BT renders a quick search of maps, and the unit features text-to-speech delivery that provides the driver with a comfortable navigation. The enhanced highway lane guidance of this sat nav ensures that you take the right turn. An interesting list of points-of-interest are also incorporated into it. You can also load custom POIs, using AVI feed software. This Pioneer Sat Nav facilitates hands-free calling through bluetooth and the unit can pull your contacts into its memory once paired with another bluetooth enabled device.
Overall, Pioneer AVIC-U310 BT sat nav provides a complaint less performance and could be best for entry level users.

Navigon has announced plans for a sat-nav application for Android. In what could be a threat to the free Google Maps Navigation, Navigon’s application for Android will be released on December 10th. The announcement was made at iCE Amsterdam and according to reports, Bernd Hahn, the Head of Technical Product Management at Navigon made it clear that there will be two separate regional versions of which one will be for Europe.
Hahn is also reported to indicate that the new application will have a few changes that will go with the screen resolutions and interface of Android phones.

The Navigon sat-nav application will be compatible with all handsets that have versions of Android 1.5 to 2.0. Though details on pricing and functionality have not been revealed yet, some reckon that the application could cost almost as that of the existing Navigon iPhone application (almost £55).
