It’s launching in Japan later this month, priced at the equivalent of a tenner and available in [...]
Sanyo’s crime-fighting satnav
The Sanyo NV-SD700DT is a satnav with a difference: as well as telling you where to go, it tells where NOT to park. Yep, Sanyo has loaded it with police data that highlights theft hotspots.
