I believe I mentioned a few days ago an accident that occurred with a GPS device and an oncoming train. Just to let you know, I was able to use a GPS device to get me from where I was to CES 2008 in Las Vegas without any trouble.
While I CES, I found a GPS that was absolutely awesome: the Mio C720t. At first it seems like the C720t was just your average, run-of-the-mill GPS with a 4.3 inch TFT, landscape orientation, and text to speech. Blah, blah, blah, don’t all GPS devices have those?
However, the Mio C720t has some pretty amazing features. For example, the 2 Megapixel Digital Camera. I don’t know if there are many GPS devices with cameras, but I would have to say that this camera is unique. This one allows you to Geotag photographs, which will include the longitude and latitude coordinates.
The C720t also has some really fresh multimedia action, and is completely Bluetooth compatible. The C720t package also comes with real time traffic alerts, as well as 3 months of free service.
I believe that the Mio C720t was just released, and is the pride of the Mio collection. I believe the suggested retail price is about $499.
It is interesting to note that Goodyear, the company that manufactures vehicle tires, is finally taking the plunge into the GPS market. The folks at Goodyear have already inked a deal with The NCC, and the result of this alliance would be eight rugged GPS navigation devices to be paraded at CES next week. Expect features such as Bluetooth connectivity, a remote control, hands-free phone calls, as well as tying in with MSN Direct to get the latest in live traffic updates, local gas prices and weather reports on your dashboard. These devices are also tipped to come with 4.3″ touchscreen displays, stereo speakers, text-to-speech navigation, audio and video playback, 2GB of internal memory and an SD memory card slot for expansion purposes. No idea on how much they cost though.
Garmin International does not want to be left behind in the High Definition race by making marked improvements to a couple of its popular marine radomes - the GMR 18 HD and the GMR 24 HD. Both devices will not only offer better target separation but clearer definition as well, especially in close ranges. According to Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales, “These new radar scanners process up to eight times the information of their predecessors, which helps take the guesswork out of identifying the precise location of targets. And unlike many competing products, these new units are completely backwards compatible with the current Garmin marine lineup.”
