| NXP Software teams with Mango Research NXP Software and Mango Research have announced the first GPS product design to result from collaboration between the two companies. The Mango Research Magic 380 is a complete Personal Navigation Device (PND), which has a suitable form factor for in-car use. Its performance and small size result from a groundbreaking application of NXP Software's swGPS Personal software GPS Baseband technology. For the first time in a handheld device, NXP Software's swGPS Personal performs all the signal processing necessary to measure GPS satellite signals and calculate your position entirely in software. Running on the handheld device's normal processor, it eliminates the need for a separate GPS baseband processing chip, saving board space and boosting performance. Plus, with GPS functionality handled in software, the device can be easily modified or upgraded without the need for hardware changes. The Magic 380 benefits from Mango Research's leading consumer electronics design expertise and NXP Software's swGPS Personal software to target drivers' pursuit of maximum mobility. The Magic 380 is also easy to carry around and use in and out of vehicles. Its compact and fashionable design makes it attractive to users looking for a superb digital experience for both work and play. With its excellent user interface, it requires no training or prior experience to operate. The device features a Samsung 32-bit application processor and NXP Software's swGPS Personal with a Maxim RF front end. It also includes a Samsung high brightness TFT touch panel display, powerful crystal-clear stereo audio and optional external RDS/TMC modules for real-time traffic messages and other content services. write your comments about the article :: © 2007 Computing News :: home page |
