By incorporating a Black Box in its system, the Korean company Mercury has made the Black Eagle a unit that focuses mainly on safety than entertainment functions sought on a navigator. It has sensors that alert the driver for situations like lane changing and traffic congestion. On the event of an accident, the black box function kicks in, the system saves the last 18 seconds of the event recorded via the camera to the black box; 12 seconds before accident and 6 seconds after (it considers 1.1G acceleration as an accident). The Black Eagle features Mando’s ‘Mappy United’ map software and supports POP (picture out picture), PIP (picture in picture) and NIP (navigation in picture). DMB recording, TV-out and USB 2.0 port are the other specs.

Mercury’s ‘Black Eagle’ GPS Navigation Unit will be out in the Korean market in late July for 589,000KRW ($643)
