ViaMichelin has finally lifted the curtain on the spanking new X-980T navigation system. The portable navigation device is equipped with the ViaMichelin Navigation 6 software that offers interesting innovations such as voice synthesis that announces the street names you are on and a toll avoidance route. In any case, you can keep the X-980T updated with the latest addresses by uploading the necessary data through a PC. The X-980T will be available in the middle of October onwards for approximately $880 that places it in direct competition with the TomTom GO 710. More specs and features are available after the jump.
