Asus is ready to launch its R700t, a portable GPS unit with 3D maps; “the realistic 3D Maps provide a 3D panoramic view that makes it simple for users to navigate complicated and multi-level junctions.” It sports a wide 4.3″ touchscreen display (480 x 272 resolution), MP3 and video playback, picture viewer, Bluetooth 2.0, 64MB RAM and 1GB flash-ROM, and microSD card slot (up to 4GB). Interestingly, the Asus R700t also features a built-in FM transmitter which allows the GPS unit to transmit phone conversations, navigational directions, and voice out SMS though the vehicle’s speakers. The TMC (Traffic Message Channel) provides real-time information on traffic conditions and allows users to be notified of accidents, road diversions, traffic jams, and traffic light breakdowns ensuring that you’ll arrive at your destination on time.

The Asus R700t measures 128 x 80 x 13.2 mm and weighs a feathery 200 grams. The unit is available in Taiwan for about $394.
