The device also supports Bluetooth hands free phones so you can keep eyes on the road allowing you to make and receive calls via the GPS systems speaker and mic. The screen is a 4.3” panoramic LCD.You can have routes selected by shortest route, quickest route, bike route, pedestrian, no tolls and recommended by ViaMichelin. Currently the system is for Europe only, no word on when or if it will make it to the USA. Buy your own GPS system here. Via Ubergizmo
