Sony NVX-P1 Satellite Navigation Device Review

Lisa Malyon

Like all things Sony – the NVX-P1 is a superb plug-and-play Personal Satellite Navigation Device.  What we really like about this piece of kit is that you can move it from vehicle to vehicle really easily making it more convenient for families with a few cars.  Powered by a cigarette lighter socket, the P1 is sits in its supplied easy-fit cradle and looks really smart.  Its brushed aluminium design isn’t as smart as it would be in black but that depends on the colour of your vehicle’s interior.  It features a 9.5cm, high-resolution display is large as far as Sat Navs go, and is very high quality.  It is perfect for the in-car environment and in was viewed well in all lights, bright or dim.  The NVX –P1 has got a clever re-routing engine as well as a 3D map view.

With a Graphical User Interface and multiple viewing modes, we found that operating the NVX-P1 was easy as.  It’s got voice guidance (via a built in speaker) - which wasn’t as annoying as some we’ve heard - and is available in eight European languages.  It also has 2Gb pre-installed HDD and map coverage of over 20 European countries (excluding Greece).  Another feature that we were ultimately impressed by was the Infra red remote control.  It came in very handy when you’re driving along and you can’t take your hands off the road.

Overall Opinion

The Sony NVX-P1 Satellite Navigation Device is a great Sat Nav system that will guide you from A to B without getting you lost (not like other devices...). It's easy to use and we like the fact that includes european maps. We also love its infra red remote control.

Pros + Easy to install and is conveniently transferable between vehicles + Remote Control	Cons - The brushed aluminium isn't the smartest colour
