GPS navigation units are a dime a dozen these days, so it’s no surprise manufacturers are trying to find unique angles to entice new customers.

Mio launched a Knight Rider-themed navigation unit, featuring the original voice of David Hasselolff’s KITT car from the beloved ‘80s television show.

We got our hands on this clever GPS device, so here's what you can expect:  Turn on the unit, and you'll immediately hear the familiar “whoosh-whoosh” noise, accompanied by a related animation on the 4.3-inch screen. Following this is a personal greeting by KITT (actor William Daniels), in our case: “Marc, where would you like to go today?” Cue the ear-to-ear smile.

And yes, you can select from one of many names on the list. What's more, red LEDs flash on the sides of the jet black GPS device, moving in rhythm with KITT's turn-by-turn instructions, such as “Turn right in 300 feet, at the end of the road.”

Available for about $270, the Knight Rider GPS by Mio includes maps for both the United States and Canada and houses more than four million POIs (points of interest), such as hotels, gas stations and restaurants. The map also displays brand icons for many major chains, such as golden arches for McDonald's.
