It sounds quite complicated to find your way out in a city in Japan. This is due to no street names or house numbers. The Japanese seem to like using more number ordering to replace street names and house numbers, which you’ll normally get something like 3rd district, 9th block, 4th house etc.
Obviously, without a good GPS system in your car, you will be risk of losing your direction and failing to find your way out. The latest Clarion GPS, the DrivTrax P5, is an autonomous SiRF GPS with 2GB of expandable internal memory (with its SD port, for audio and video), and a 4.3†display. It measures 132×90.5x22mm, weights 198g and has 4.5 hours of autonomy. It runs Windows CE 5.0. No words on pricing and availability. Don’t forget to bring along a GPS system, if you plan for a tour to Japan soon!
