Safety First!
Do not use your navigation system while driving if doing so will divert your attention in any way from the safe operation of your vehicle. Always observe safe driving rules. In some states certain operations of your navigation system while driving may be illegal. Where such regulations apply, they must be obeyed.

Alpine PND-K3 and PND-K3msn GPS SatNavs
As the demand for navigation continues to intensify, the one-size-fits-all approach is no longer applicable. Consumers now want choices. Some may find that a portable device is all they need, while others may want a more robust in-dash system. Still others may want the flexibility of both. Alpine Electronics of America, Inc., the industry-leading manufacturer of automotive mobile media solutions, now offers a brand-new option for consumers that fits their unique driving lifestyle with a higher level of on the road accuracy: the new PND-K3 portable navigation device (PND).
The slim, lightweight PND-K3, which is available in two versions, combines remarkable ease-of-use with natural voice text-to-speech technology and superior vehicle-positioning technology. The PND-K3msn shares all the core features of the PND-K3 with the addition of MSN Direct service. It features Alpine’s most sophisticated vehicle positioning and navigation technology in a portable device. From a design standpoint, the PND-K3’s all-new look and user interface makes it a standout in the fiercely competitive step-up PND market.
A new user interface feature is the “POI Search,” which lets drivers look for a POI through four search methods: “Near You,” “Within City Vicinity,” “Near Destination” or “Along Route.” After choosing one of these options, the POI database is narrowed down, resulting in more applicable search results when the user goes to the next step of searching for the POI by category or name.
The PND-K3’s slim form factor and easy-to-detach cradle system make it very convenient to store or set up the PND-K3 on the windshield or dashboard. And, despite the slim form factor, sound quality and volume level are not sacrificed. The PND-K3’s built-in loud speaker allows turn-by-turn instructions, music or incoming Bluetooth phone calls to be heard loud and clear.
The ability to lock in and maintain a moving car’s location on the map is a big challenge for many portable navigation devices. The PND-K3’s new, advanced vehicle-positioning system continues positioning the car’s location even in areas where it’s difficult to receive GPS signals, such as in tunnels or between tall city buildings. This is achieved through the simultaneous use of satellite-linked global positioning data as well as sophisticated gyro and accelerometer technology, which measures both the car’s direction and speed. This highly advanced “dead reckoning” approach ensures continuous, accurate vehicle positioning for high-quality navigation performance.
For an even more dynamically updated, location-relevant experience, Alpine also introduced the PND-K3msn. The PND-K3msn has all the features of the PND-K3 with the addition of MSN Direct services, which are delivered when the PND-K3msn is attached to the supplied MSN Direct-enabled cradle (separate service subscription required). With the PND-K3msn, consumers can receive instant and continuously updated information in the car, such as traffic information, weather reports, gas prices and movie times.
The PND-K3 and PND-K3msn come with eight different menu color schemes and eight different map color schemes. This allows consumers to match their interior dashboard designs and lighting colors with the unit, or personalize the unit to fit their mood.
