Alpine's NVE-N099P car navigation system offers maps for 28 Western and Eastern European countries.

And it also boasts TMC coverage in 11 countries - so access to Traffic Vision - a service that warns you of queues ahead, and uses Alpine's NVD-Z004 smart map pro navigation software offering 3D views, a database of hundreds of thousands of Points of Interest, and a 3D motorwat junction guidance system.

Directions are offered in 12 languages and you also get lane guidance when driving through large cities.

The NVE-N099P box is compatible with both PulseTouch and touch screen monitors and these include the Alpine IVA-D106R mobile media station.

Hook it up and you get a 7-inch screen, touch control satnav system, but you can also use the NVE-N099P as a DVD player to keep the kids happy when you know where you're going and don't need directions.

The mobile media station also plays DVD audio files, MP3 content and can stream off your iPod using the optional cable.
