Navigon’s Two New 70-series Gps Navigation Systems

NAVIGON just added two new GPS navigation systems to their 70-series devices. Both these have a 5″ screen and are called NAVIGON 70 Easy and NAVIGON 70 Plus Live. Some of the features include active lane assistant, reality view Pro, text-to-speech, and a lot more. That’s really it for the 70 Easy. But 70 Plus Live has a lot more features including Google Local Search, Traffic Live, Mobile Safety Camera Live, Weather Live, and a new one called Clever Parking Live which is only available in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Luxembourg – which are included in the price for the first year.

The NAVIGON 70 Easy costs £120, and the NAVIGON 70 Plus Live £200.

Pioneer Appradio

The idea behind Pioneer’s AppRadio is a bit different – we believe no one hads done this before. Pioneer has just introduced its new product range for 2011 and it includes the new SPH-DA01. At first sight the SPH-DA01 does not seem special. It incorporates the usual connections and a large screen similar to most 2-DIN in-dash units. The interesting thing however is the app developed by Pioneer which can be found free on the iTunes Store. And basically it brings your iPhone display to the main screen.

With this simple trick, Pioneer allows you to access the iPhone menus and other features such as GPS. At the moment there are not many details on whether the iPhone interface will be completely integrated but the main idea behind AppRadio is pretty solid. The system will work by connecting the iPhone cable – which will activate AppRadio. This is good since it means your batteries will be charged as you go but a wireless option would’ve been good too.

It seems that AppRadio is not the only thing that Pioneer has prepared. The company has already hinted at other applications for the SPH-DA01. Software update for the device will be through the microSD card. Expect it to see out late June this year. That’s all we know so far.

Garmin Gtu 10 Live Gps Tracking Device

Garmin seems to be experimenting with a new live GPS tracking device called GTU 10 as we caught a glimpse of it in the FCC docs. It is not announced yet as they have a request to keep external, and internal photos, users manual, and test setup photos under cover for another 45 days.

We’re not exactly sure what market Garmin is after with the GTU 10 but the device is called “GSM/GPRS enabled GPS tracking device” and operates on GSM850 and PCS1900 frequencies. It is also powered by via USB port and that’s really all we can get the from the available FCC docs.

We’ll just have to wait and see.

Amber Alert Gps 2g

Amber Alert GPS today launched the Amber Alert GPS 2G, a GPS child tracking device. The device allows for parents to create a virtual safe zone, follow their kids bread crumb trail, and be alerted when their child reaches their destination. It even has voice monitoring, and even the ability to monitor the speed of a vehicle your child is riding in. There’s also the usual panic button that almost all live GPS tracking devices has.

The device itself costs a whopping $400 and you can pay between $10 to $60 for the service charge.

We think it is quite costly.

Indian Himalayas Gps Maps

Ever wanted to get your hands on GPS maps of far away places – whether it is just for vacation – or adventure? You already probably know names like Navteq or TeleAtlas can’t help you out much. Don’t even think about Garmin – we’re talking about places where cars won’t make – or never seen before.

Then you’re going to have to go with smaller names – people who make the GPS maps themselves. Guys here are working some GPS maps for your most remote travels plans and so far they have the following:

Indian Himalayas

Excellent maps of Ladakh that includes road from Kargil to Leh, Nubra & Shyok Valley, Zanskar Valley, Kargil and Dah Hanu, Shyok and the North East, Leh to Tso Moriri, and even extreme South East.

Another set of maps are for Lahaul AND Spiti, which is split into Manali to Keylong, Manali to Spiti, Spiti West and Spiti East, Lingti Valley, Pin Valley, and Kinnaur to Spiti.

There’s even the maps for the part from Keylong in Lahaul up to Leh – not found anywhere else.

Sri Lanka

For Sri Lanka the there are 20 maps which cover main roads, secondary roads, small roads, and even 4 wheel drive and dirt tracks. Maps are about 6500×7500 pixels where each one is about 4-5 MBs. There are also detailed town maps for most cities and tourist destinations including Colombo, Galle, Kandy, Anuradapura, etc.

Maldives

GPS maps for Maldives include 11 maps, based on very accurate measurements and high resolution satellite images. The capital city of Male will have a street level map very soon.
