Kenwood's latest generation KNA-G520 is a high performance in-car navigation system that can be connected to a Kenwood touch screen unit to provide simple operation and clear guidance to your destination. It comes with detailed road data for virtually all of Western Europe on an easily updated SD Memory Card (updates are also possible via the unit's mini USB connection), and features a Text To Speech (TTS) system to provide the vocal prompts and information. This means it doesn't rely on pre-programmed phrases and even provides scope to have some fun.

The hideaway KNA-G520 is very compact (just 18 x 3 x 14cm). Kenwood have now switched to Trafficmaster to provide the TMC (Traffic Message Channel) data updates. These updates are delivered to the device every 2 minutes and help to avoid congested roads. There's an Auto-Zoom Function, 2D/3D colour map display options, and a staggering number of POIs (Points of Interest) such as restaurants, petrol stations, bank ATMs, shops etc - around 2 million in all, and the detail is terrific. For example, with petrol stations it even shows the brand, great if you collect points or vouchers at a particular station.
