Alpine PND-K3

The Alpine PND-K3 is an in-car GPS receiver from Alpine's line of portable navigation devices and is the predecessor of the 2009 PND-K3msn.  The receiver features OnPoint advanced GPS positioning for faster and more accurate vehicle pinpointing and comes pre-loaded with maps of the US and Canada.

  It offers turn-by-turn voice guidance and text-to-speech functionality as well as alternate street views including 3D and highway junction views.  The PND-K3 is designed with a 4.3" wide LED backlit touchscreen with a resolution of 480 x 272 pixels and comes with a windshield and dashboard mount.  The unit includes Bluetooth connectivity for hands-free calls from a Bluetooth compatible cellphone and has an SD slot to allow for MP3 and WMA music playback.  It differs from the PND-K3msn since the PND-K3msn includes MSN Direct compatiblity for updates and services such as real-time traffic, weather, and gas prices, while the PND-K3 does not.
