Product Information

Panasonic CN-GP50N comes only in black colour and a more flat appearance. It is ready to fit in a car because it is a car navigational model in particular.

This GPS System can be used any where in Europe because it has maps of 37 European countries. POI’s are pre installed so you can plan your trip earlier. This product supports most of the European languages so that you can hear to the voice commands in any language of your choice.

They have introduced a facility called Lane Assistant with this Panasonic CN-GP50N, an arrow directed mechanism that will take us to the correct lane in an un-familiar road. But as a minor problem the arrows may appear late. Lane Assistant could have been a very nice function if it is voice based.

It has colour supported 5 inch touch screen with display illumination sporting 480 x 272 pixels clarity. As the display section appears clean but some body have reported like they had to touch the screen more than one time to get a result. But that is only a minor disadvantage with this. Some times when the system gets busy there may be some problem like slow appearance of the maps. But that is not reported frequently. So let’s hope for the best.
