Overview:

The GVN 52 is a remote GPS sensor designed to be integrated with factory audio/video entertainment systems in vehicles, allowing aftermarket onboard screens to function much like a StreetPilot® car navigation system.

Look up and route directly to specific addressees or point of interests - including restaurants, hotels, gas stations retail shops or ATMs - while viewing their exact location on an electronic moving map. The GVN 52 has a "spoken text" voice prompt capability which can be used to identify turns by street name. These turn-by-turn voice cues can be amplified through the car audio system's speakers, while the vehicle's video display shows the street map. The unit comes preloaded with detailed street mapping for all of North America.

The GVN 52 is operated by the included RF remote control. When the GVN 52 is connected to a touchscreen display, the included RF remote control is still required for unit operation.  Touching the display screen will not operate the features of the GVN 52.
