[…] ViaMichelin X950T March 15th, 2006 ViaMichelin has presented a new GPS receiver at the CeBIT 2006 the ViaMichelin X950T. In the aesthetics part, apart from the color (black vs grey) it looks identical with it’s little brother the ViaMichelin X930. Not much information about the hardware specifications of his new GPS devices are yet available. One of the main improvements is the inclusion of traffic management capabilities via TMC. The X950T will also include the ViaMichelin guide and the Green Guide which provide you with information about recommended hotels, restaurants and tourist attractions nearby, these information include addresses, telephone number, rates etc. The ViaMichelin X950T is expected to become available in May, no information on pricing yet.
