MapQuest launched PND Portable Navigation Device in partnership with TomTom
Designed to be mounted on a car’s dashboard or attached to the windshield, the MapQuest PND uses GPS to determine the current location. Using the touchscreen, users input their destination to obtain directions based on a variety of different routing options such as “quickest,” “shortest,” or “avoiding toll roads.” The on-screen and voice-guided turn-by-turn directions are available in multiple voices and languages. Corresponding 3-D maps and graphics depict the car’s progress toward the destination.
