The Mio Knight Rider GPS is an automobile GPS receiver engineered for Knight Rider fans. It features Michael Knight’s voice as the infamous K.I.T.T, allowing users to turn any every-day ride through town into a fantasy-like experience. Despite its fantasy allure, the Knight Rider GPS still boasts a chockfull of high-grade GPS features, such as a 4.3" touchscreen LCD display with a QVGA(480x272) resolution, over 4 million POIs (points of interest), and turn-by-turn voice guidance (in the voice of K.I.T.T., of course). Most notable about the Knight Rider GPS is that its LED display moves in sync with the anamorphic equalizer, thereby allowing for an authentic Knight Rider TM GPS light show. Additional features of the Mio Knight Rider GPS automobile receiver include fast and accurate GPS signal reception anywhere & anytime, preloaded maps of the United States and Canada, and a mini-USB connector for conveniently charging the unit. The Mio Knight Rider GPS retails for $199.99 and comes with a 1 year limited warranty.
