SlashGear JapanThis kit comes with all the receivers and hardware necessary to turn just about any in-car display into a navigational unit. I don’t even think it has to be a touch-screen since this kit comes with a remote that could control the software.

CES 2008: NoahPad UMPC is freakin awesome!
By James Allan Brady on Thursday, Jan 10th 2008 No CommentsThe NoahPad UMPC was something I reported on before I even got to CES, but they company that makes it had it here and they gave a little demo. The keyboard is at best weird, it acts as both the keyboard and the mouse and switches between the two via a toggle switch.

By Christina Crouch on Monday, Jan 7th 2008 No CommentsThe Navigon 7100 GPS comes with Reality View and Lane Assistant which will show you on the screen exactly which way/lane/road to take. It has an automatic traffic jam avoidance system which is very handy and Radar Info which tells you when a speed camera is coming up.
It has more than 2 million points of interest and has both 2D and 3D map views. The 4.3 full color touch screen is easy to read in it’s 16:9 widescreen format.

By James Allan Brady on Thursday, Jan 3rd 2008 No CommentsSo when you use Google maps, you can email the map/directions, print them, or “Send To”. Well, now there is new “Send to GPS” option available thanks to a partnership with TomTom that allows you to send the address of a business or home to your GPS unit with great ease.
EGO Drive GPS seems to have it all
By Christina Crouch on Wednesday, Jan 2nd 2008 No Comments
I’m not all that into having a GPS system for your car. It just seems a bit much for me but I’m willing to change my mind and the EGO Drive GPS seems to want me to.
After looking through its features I’m wondering to myself: what doesn’t it come with, can it make me breakfast or do my taxes too? It has a high-definition, full colo, 3-D 4.3 inch touchscreen with a wireless remote. It comes with a sensor to adjust it’s own illumination for day and night and has Bluetooth with voice recognition that can accommodate up to 10 people. It shows your pictures, your texts, plays mp3, WAV and MPEG4. That’s not even half of what it can do.
I apologize for the pun, but it seems to be the EGO Drive has a right to have a big ego. I don’t see a price but if I could get my hands on one of these I’d definitely change my opinion on having a GPS.

CES 2008: E-Lead Noahpad UMPC
By James Allan Brady on Monday, Dec 31st 2007 2 Comments
So, E-Lead will apparently be showing off a new UMPC that looks (not-so-) surprisingly like the Eee PC that everyone has fallen in love with. The main differences are the lack of flash memory, a different distro of Linux, and some sort of weird input interface.
Dash Navigation Dash Express GPS units up for pre-order
By James Allan Brady on Monday, Dec 17th 2007 No CommentsI don’t think we’ve covered this unit here before, so let me explain. Physically, it has a 4.3” 480×272 widescreen touch-screen, a 2 hour battery life, and appears to sit on the edge of your dash (go figure).
Funtrak Paintball Panzer now you can get even with the guy next door
By James Allan Brady on Monday, Dec 3rd 2007 No Comments
Unless of course by some strange course of events you enjoy the company of your neighbors, regardless I am sure you can find some use for a motorized miniature tank that shoots paintballs. It has a 13 horsepower gas engine and it shoots paintballs.
Like the original, it has a high amount of torque for rough terrain and has the tank tracks to aid in the rough terrain navigation as well. The best part, its street legal, at least in the UK it is.
Nokia shipping N810 to US finally
By James Allan Brady on Tuesday, Nov 20th 2007 5 CommentsYou can finally get an N810 shipped to your house direct from Nokia. In case you’ve forgotten, this thing puts UMPC’s, several laptops, any PMP I’ve seen, and navigations units all to shame at once.
It comes with GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth, a touchscreen, an onscreen keyboard, a slide out keyboard, 2GB of storage, a SD card slot to add up to 8GB of more storage, and maps, Mozilla with flash support, and several other apps all built in. The best part is the price point.
World Premiere of TomTom’s new TomTom HD Traffic
By James Allan Brady on Monday, Nov 12th 2007 No CommentsYeah, it says world premiere, but they only have a deal with Vodafone to collect the necessary GSM signals to calculate the traffic in an area. So, it looks like you can buy it anywhere, but only use it where there is Vodafone service.
The service will initially only be available in the Netherlands, and will offer external routes, that according to the data collected, should be faster. The first device to be blessed with the new HD Traffic tech will be the TomTom ONE XL HD Traffice, which is exactly like the ONE XL, but add a SIM card to get the traffic data with.
