Viota, based in Shenzhen, China, is a global provider of a wide range of personal navigation devices (PNDs). Their latest line of connected PNDs with touchscreen integrates u-blox’ LEON GSM/GPRS module to support update of map and navigation data. The V501G, V503G, V4360 and V502G also function as multimedia players supporting eBook and photo album applications, plus MP3 audio and MP4 video playback.
