Garmin has been nothing but a tease when posting all of these Nuvifone gallery pictures. Though these photos are not actual pictures of the handset, they give you a bit clearer picture of what it will be like in hand. The most exciting pictures we came across are the screenshots of various features.
The Moto is a Multi Navigation System designed by Jeongmin Ok. This sleek looking navigation system is based of the design of a compass. As odd as that sounds, this device concept just looks so beautiful. Depending on what car you have this device just may make your ride look bad.
TomTom have launched a new online route planner, which allows travellers to pre-plan their journey with access to the company’s traffic delay data. The system, which is open to free registration to both owners and non-owners of TomTom hardware, offers door-to-door route planning options to any address, taking into account real-time and historic information on traffic flows. It also includes daily map updates.
In you’re on the lookout for a new navigation device, Medion just announced three brand new ones that could fit the bill. Even better yet, all three include theft-deterrence technology in the form of a fingerprint scanner for that extra layer of security.
No official information has even been released about the TomTom Eclipse AVN4430, but we got our hands on some information anyway. In fact, this new system is a navigation device and car stereo all in one showcasing a collaboration between TomTom and Eclipse. And the only reason anyone has gotten a look at is is due to the announcement that it will win an award at 2009 CES.
With prices of basic standalone PNDs (Personal Navigation Devices) racing to the bottom, and increasing threats from navigation apps on mobile devices, what’s a company to do when they want to make a premium GPS device? If you’re Navigon, and the PND is the 7200T, you stuff it full of real-time updates, 3D visualizations and incredibly detailed mapping, together with a vast touchscreen and slick design. Does the Navigon 7200T stand out or get lost in the crowd? SlashGear decided to find out.
A GPS unit with classic 80s Knight Rider styling and the original voice of K.I.T.T. to give directions: Mio could’ve filled the box with rocks and still sold thousands to loyal fans of the TV series. Mio insist though that, behind the gimmicks, there’s a solid PND (Personal Navigation Device); SlashGear strapped on a chest-wig, unbuttoned our shirts to the waist and released a hit record in Germany to find out.
If you’re in need for a new GPS, you might be interested in the TomTom Go 630 GPS. Though you’ll have to go to Radio Shack to get it, as it is an exclusive offer. One thing is for certain, however. You can bet on complete map coverage of the US and Canada to go along with this deal.
Sat-Nav specialists AvMap have announced their latest standalone GPS, the Geosat 6 Drive Safe, which can not only guide you but chide you if you’ve drunk too much. Fitted with an alcohol sensor, users simply blow onto the device to get a reading and advice as to whether they’re safe to drive or not. Input is all courtesy of the 4.8-inch wide-aspect touchscreen, with spoken guidance prompts and Bluetooth for using the Geosat 6 as a mobile phone hands-free.
