Automotive electronics company Alpine said shipments of a new portable navigation device began. The Alpine Blackbird PMD-B200 is priced at around $750.

The Alpine Blackbird PMD-B200 is the second generation of its Blackbird GPS navigation platform. It runs off of the Windows CE system. A built-in hard drive stores maps for all of the United States and Canada, including six million points of interest. Maps can be viewed a variety of ways and directions can be offered in turn-by-turn voice instruction.

Other features of the PMD-B200, which has a four-inch LCD touchscreen, include on-screen traffic information, music playback, Bluetooth phone support and the ability to be docked inside a separate Alpine in-dash head unit. The PMD-B200 is available now.
