Turn your PSP into a personal GPS Navigation System with Go!Explore.
As of early Spring 2008, PSP owners need never get lost again – thanks to a new addition to the Go! range called Go!Explore which puts 3D city mapping in users' hands by turning PSP into a state-of-the-art personal GPS Navigation System. Just enter your destination and Go! Explore will do the rest for you.
Go!Explore consists of an attachable GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver and a UMD disc of the user's chosen maps. At the touch of a button, users will be able to find their position on a map and work out the direction they need to take. Go!Explore works both on foot and in the car, offering a top-notch personal GPS Navigation System at a fraction of the cost of other systems on the market.
On foot, you'll be able to plot your way through cities in 3D thanks to the fully modelled city maps contained on the UMD discs. Simply load the UDM disc, select your destination, and watch as the city's landmarks and points of interest appear on-screen in 3D. You can download new maps and upgrades from PlayStation Store (PC) – a resource that guarantees you'll find those special locations wherever you're travelling.
When you're in the car, you'll benefit from different display modes for day and night, meaning that you'll always get the clearest view of where you're going. And you won't need to worry about your battery life or where to put your PSP while driving thanks to the Car Adaptor and Car Mount accessories which will be bundled together in one package.
As well as the awesome power of PSP, Go!Explore uses the technology of two other market leaders: map data industry leader TeleAtlas and navigation software legends NavNGo.
"Go! Explore is a stunning addition to the Go! range," said Stephane Hareau, PSP Senior Brand Manager at Sony Computer Entertainment Europe. "Who would have previously thought that PSP owners would be able to use PSP to navigate their way around an unfamiliar city? It's an awesome product and another testament to the unrivalled potential of PSP."
There will be three ways to buy Go!Explore for PSP:
Packs mapping the United Kingdom, Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Norway, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg will initially be available, and Go!Explore will support 11 unique audio languages on every geographic version. Updates will be available from PlayStation Store (PC) at store.playstation.com.
Go!Explore launches in Spring 2008. Are you ready for the journey?
