You'll get turn-by-turn directions displayed right on the map--it's that simple.

But thanks to a special window arrangement utility, you can organize them all with one simple touch. Press a button and watch as all your open windows are presented side-by-side on a single screen, cutting clutter and giving you a fresh perspective on your workspace.
The unit also has an instant-mode option that launches directly into Sony's Xross Media Bar interface--the same intuitive system found on the PLAYSTATION 3 and select BRAVIA HDTVs--so you can rapidly boot up and access music, video, photos and the Web. A built-in webcam lets you video chat with family, friends and colleagues.
