Teaming up with a famous design company is sometimes everything a manufacturer of various electronic products needs in order to make their products more appealing to the general public. And that’s exactly the case with Navigon’s Porsche P9611 model, created together with Porsche Design, a PND which provides a wide range of navigation-related features in a very sleek and attractive external package.



Since we’ve mentioned Porsche Design, it’s important to note the fact that the device comes in a pretty sleek and attractive package, as the external casing measures just around 125mm x 82 mm x 19mm, at a weight of around 250 grams. Furthermore, the overall aesthetic effect is quite an attractive one as well, since the PND combines black with silver in a very interesting manner.



Moreover, the GPS module is also an advanced one, namely the 3'rd generation Antaris 4 SuperSense from u-blox. However, the Navigon P9611 has a lot more under the hood. Thus, the device is built-around an Intel PXA 270, 520 MHz processor, sports 64 MB RAM and 64 MB ROM, and also features a 4.3-inch 480x272 pixels (WQVGA) high-resolution touch-screen TFT LCD display.



Furthermore, it comes with an SD memory card expansion slot, USB cable, car cradle and charging cable, and can also be used as a high quality audio player. The device also comes with Bluetooth, enabling hands-free communication support for Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones.



The PND supports several important viewing options, namely 2D View, 3D View, map overview, Day & Night Mode, Dynamic Route Overview. Other software features include digital maps of 37 European countries, integrated TMC (Traffic Message Channel) that informs users about traffic jams and automatically calculates alternative routes and preloaded international information that updates automatically when users cross a border, displaying country-specific information such as speed limits or permitted alcohol limits.



Unfortunately, the Navigon P9611 comes at a pretty hefty price tag, namely around 795 Euro (1,160 US dollars), which was to be expected, though, taking into account the numerous features this device has to offer.
