Now Panasonic has released a few more models in the land of the rising run to include in its Strada line of navigation devices. The new models will be available in 7-inch and 5-inch QVGA sizes, and sport touchscreens. Features of these models include 8GB internal memory, 1Seg TV tuner, MP3/WMA support (aside from the low-end model CN-SP300L-K). The high end models (CN-MP700VD-K and CN-MP500VD-K) will also sport the Japanese VICS traffic control.
