Most complete set of maps.

The new Tayako P350 offers a seamless map of 41 countries in both Western and Central Europe and the most-up-to-date maps of USA and Canada* preinstalled on the 4 GB internal memory of the device. This makes the Tayako P330 the personal navigation device with the most complete set of pre-installed maps available in Tayako's entire navigation solution portfolio.

Best navigation with Enhanced Positioning Technology:
Tayako's new Enhanced Positioning Technology uses movement and gravity sensors to calculate drivers’ positions when GPS signals are unavailable.
Tayako P350 users will have a much more continuous navigation experience as the Enhanced Positioning Technology ensures the device continues to navigate to its destination, even in circumstances where there may not be a direct line-of-sight connection to a satellite. For example, when driving in a city with tall buildings, underpasses or bridges.
In addition, the Tayako P330 comes with the latest version of Tayako's award winning software and all the features of the current Tayako P320. This includes Tayako Map Core™ Technology to make easy changes to the map and to share map corrections with other Tayako customers so that users always have the most up-to-date maps available.
