Medion Releases GoPal P5430 Navigator – World Yawns

Medion hasn’t given us any new navigators in quite a while, so the 5-inch GoPal P5430 comes as a nice surprise. The features are merely adequate, but it’s the thought that counts.
The European PND sports a 5-inch touchscreen display, integrated TMC antenna, fingerprint sensor, text-to-speech functionality, an inbuilt FM transmitter and pre-installed NAVTEQ maps of Western and Eastern Europe. The unit is priced at £175 ($269) which isn’t exactly the best deal in the world either. Still, if you have a European road trip coming up and you are jonesin’ for a navigator, this would suit in a pinch.
