Nokia has launched its first dedicated satnav to come with Europe-wide maps to compete in the ever-widening personal navigation market. The Nokia 330 Auto Navigation provides seamless navigation from country to country and provides clear spoken and visual direction.

With a 3.5-inch touchscreen, 330 allows you to quickly enter addresses and follow visual instructions to your destinations. A quick address look-up provides prompted entries so that you don’t have to enter the same address time and time again.

The device comes with a 2GB memory cards with the pre-installed Europe maps, which are provided by Navteq and the Route 66 Navigate 7 application, and features a built-in GPS receiver. Visual instructions can be viewed on 2D or 3D maps, and the device can display day or night view.

It also supports the usual audio, picture, and video files. Look out for it to hit the shelves before Christmas for around €360.
