Until now, the problem with many in-car GPS navigation systems has been confusing user interfaces, poor display screens, restricted map coverage, and slow performance. To address the growing need of drivers to have a strong and reliable navigation tool, Panasonic developed the Strada, HDD mobile navigation system, a user-friendly, high-capacity car navigation system which can easily instruct average, non-technical drivers where they are, where they've been, and how to get to their next destination.

While serving as a driver's electronic navigator between points A, B and C, or any other combination, the Strada CN-NVD905U system can deliver radio broadcasts, real-time traffic information, and CD audio and DVD movie and can even play music and videos from an iPod allowing your car to be another source for on demand entertainment.

Moving beyond navigation and entertainment, Panasonic's new navigation system also boasts several safety and convenience features, such as hands-free Bluetooth connectivity, an optional back-up camera to help avoid fender benders and the ability to program specific geographic areas that the driver wants to avoid.



Complete with high-speed data to provide the driver with possible restaurant choices, gas stations and hotel accommodations along their trip, the Strada system, named after the Italian word for street, is truly the perfect driving companion.

Panasonic CN-NVD905U Review, December 1, 2009
By California "California" (California) -
I have purchased the Kenwood DNX7100 and had the Eclipse 5435 and I have to say the Panasonic is better than both. The Kenwood sound quality without an amp is horrible and the music menu when using an mp3 cd is really slow. The navigation would also lead me in the wrong direction constantly. Another bad thing about the Kenwood is that it does not have hard buttons for track changing. That is really annoying you're trying to drive and you want to change the station or song and you have to look for a button the screen. The touchscreen functionality was also not very accurate. The Eclipse was over all really slow because it was a DVD based navigation. The sound quality on it was very good though and the navigation was accurate.

The Panasonic is a great mix of both! The sound quality without an amp is excellent, the navigation is very accurate and looks almost exactly like the eclipse and the button layout for both onscreen and hard buttons are great! This is by far the fastest unit and the touch screen is very accurate! The only thing I don't like is the layout of the music tracks when playing a cd. It displays 6 songs at a time but my Eclipse used to display up to 9 and it would display them quickly, the Panasonic lags a bit but not as bad as the Kenwood. I also wish that when you changed songs the music list would highlight the song you changed to and follow, but it just stays on the page you're on. Hard to explain.

Over all really good especially for the money. It's a lot better than most navigation units that are twice the price.
