The PND (Personal Navigation Device) A portable GPS-based navigation system that can be used when walking, hiking or in any vehicle. See GPS. features a slim and compact design and a 4.3" TFT LCD (Thin Film Transistor LCD) See LCD. (480 x 272 QVGA (Quarter VGA) A screen resolution of 320x240 pixels, which is used on handheld devices. Although 320x240 seems half the 640x480 VGA resolution, the "quarter" comes from the total number of pixels, which is one fourth the number (320 times 240=76800; 640 times 480=307200). ) with battery run time of up to 4 hours. The navigation capabilities include a touch screen with Millions of POI's, Bluetooth[TM] Headset and Audio streaming as well as TTS (1) See text-to-speech. (2) (Transaction Tracking System) Software that monitors a transaction until completion. In the event of a hardware or software failure, it ensures that the database is brought back to its former state before the attempt to (Text to Speech) with Turn-by-Turn Voice Guidance. The LN790 interfaces include a USB USB in full Universal Serial Bus Type of serial bus that allows peripheral devices (disks, modems, printers, digitizers, data gloves, etc.) to be easily connected to a computer. 2.0 slot and an SD Card slot. The player comes complete with preloaded United States and Canada map. "LG is excited to work with RMI and believe that the Alchemy Au1200 Processor gives us the most robust solution available to continue offering the world's most advanced products for the Consumer Electronics market," said Mr. Joo-Young Kim, Chief Research Engineer at LG. "For the products that we are delivering today and for products in the future, we believe that RMI's product roadmap and expertise will afford us the ability to be successful." The RMI Alchemy[TM] Au1200, the processor of choice for full-featured Portable Navigation Devices, Personal Media Players (PMP See point-to-multipoint and portable media player. PMP - Portable Media Player ), and mobile TV devices, is a high-performance processor capable of delivering a rich multi-media experience to end users. The powerful processor enables users to download media quickly and enjoy DVD-quality video efficiently delivered at full standard definition resolution, with several video format options. The Alchemy Au1200 processor gives system designers an easy-to-use, simple solution to create full-featured portable solutions with greatly reduced design cycle times. The System-on-a-Chip (SoC) architecture integrates most peripheral components. "RMI is proud to be working with LG on its Portable Navigation Device as they are recognized as one of the strongest electronics companies in the world," said Mike Wodopian, vice president and general manager, Alchemy Solutions at RMI. "As a leader in their business, and as a leader in our market, we feel that there is a strong synergy for successful product development between the two companies and we look forward to working with them on this generation of products and the generations to come." RMI's products push the edge of processor technology in performance and integration and are used by system and original equipment manufacturers to quickly respond to changing market needs.
