According to an Au news story, Uniden has widened its range of TRAX GPS navigation units with two new products:

1. TRAX 5000, which is a 5-inch widescreen flat panel unit
2. TRAX 4300.

Both feature 360 Degree 3D Landmarks and new 360 Degree Terrain.

Now, how cool is that?

By the way, this is how it looks like:

I Googled this (because I am such a sucker for GPS systems)… and get this:

With the TRAX 500, Uniden incorporated the new 360 degree 3D City Maps feature “so you can view entire city blocks in 3-dimension. Also, the new 3D Terrain Software shows road elevations and land contours including overpasses and bridges. The TRAX 4300 has 360 degree 3D Landmarks and 360 Degree Terrain. The TRAX 5000 also utilises Advanced Lane Guidance and Signpost Information to visually indicate the most appropriate lane to use.”

I bet this costs a fortune. And is this available only in Australia?

I am not sure if it can only be bought in Australia. The Uniden TRAX 5000 is priced at RRP $349.95 and the TRAX 4300 is RRP $249.95. I guess that’s also in AU dollars.

Is this for real?

sounds like a great device. i just hope that they will be able to put it through other markets. GPS in 3d... cool!
