Garmin nuvi 785T reviewed
Filed under: GPS
Garmin launched its updated 7x5 series of nuvi navigators back in August, but the high-end MSN Direct-equipped 785T is just hitting stores, and GPS Magazine says it's a solid improvement over previous nuvis -- but if you're not willing to pay the $50 / year for the MSN service, you're probably not going to miss it. The 785T drew high marks for its fast frame rate, nice 3D lane guidance / upcoming turn features, and semi-realistic building displays, but the MSN Direct traffic implementation was less accurate than the free traffic service built into lesser T-series nuvis, and download speeds for the service weren't particularly swift. We're not all that sold on the connected GPS concept yet, so we're inclined to take the reviewer's advice and pick up the otherwise-identical non-connected 765T, but click on for the full exhaustive review to decide for yourself.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

Goodyear announces five more GPS units in time for Christmas
Filed under: GPS
The folks over at The NCC just hit us with details and pictures of their five new Goodyear-branded GPS models, three of which are due out in time for Christmas. Starting at $179.99 for the entry level, 3.5-inch GY130, and working their way skywards to $499.99 for the GY440 4.3-inch widescreen with Bluetooth and 12 months free MSN Direct, all models feature touchscreens, Instant Rerouting (the device calculates all alternate routes in a one-mile radius of the vehicle, so recalculation isn't needed if you get off course), a SiRF GPS receiver, turn-by-turn spoken directions and 3D view. There is plenty more to these units, however -- hit the gallery for plenty of truly breathtaking renders and check out pricing and stats after the break.Gallery: New Goodyear GPS units for 2008

Nextar intros 5-inch SNAP5 / 7-inch SNAP7 GPS units
Filed under: GPS
Warm on the heels of its T30 PMP, Nextar is getting official with two new GPS units in its ever-expanding SNAP family. Up first is the SNAP5 -- which predictably includes a 5-inch touch panel -- followed by the 7-inch SNAP7. Both devices check in at just 0.7-inches thick and feature stereo speakers, text-to-speech support, US / Canada Tele Atlas maps, an SD card slot, a built-in MP3 player / JPEG viewer, 2D / 3D map viewing modes, a rechargeable Li-ion battery and a magnetic docking station (hence the SNAP moniker -- get it?!). The duo is all set to debut at SEMA 2008 in early November, but they won't go on sale in the US until Spring of 2009; at that point, you can grab the SNAP of your choice for $299.99 / $349.99, respectively. Full release is after the break.Gallery: Nextar intros 5-inch SNAP5 / 7-inch SNAP7 GPS unitsContinue reading Nextar intros 5-inch SNAP5 / 7-inch SNAP7 GPS unitsNextar intros 5-inch SNAP5 / 7-inch SNAP7 GPS units originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 28 Oct 2008 14:59:00 EST.

NDrive rolls out new NDrive Touch GPS units
Filed under: GPS
NDrive's GPS units may not ever make it over here, but it looks like folks in Europe now have two more models to choose from, which the company says are a full 40% thinner and lighter than anything else on the market. Those include the 3.5-inch NDrive Touch and 4.3-inch NDrive Touch XL, which are each available in 1GB and 8GB versions and include all the usual the GPS-related features, plus a few slightly less than common ones like a light sensor and, perhaps most notably, "gesture support," though it's not clear exactly what that entails. There's no word on an exact release date just yet either, but it looks like they'll run you between €139 and €249, or roughly $170 to $310.

Filed under: GPS, Handhelds, Tablet PCs
Does a UMPC with a breathalyzer still raise eyebrows?

Available with 512MB or 1GB memory and up to 60GB storage, this machine is currently on sale in Korea. No word yet on pricing.

Garmin reaffirms 1H 2009 shipment of nuvifone
Filed under: Cellphones, GPS
Man, a lot -- a lot -- has happened in the mobile space since Garmin went public with its then-mesmerizing nüvifone. Nearly a year later, it's become but a blip on the radar behind the Touch HD, G1, XPERIA X1 and iPhone 3G. Nevertheless, Garmin has come out and reaffirmed that the long-awaited handset will actually not be delayed once more, and that the "first half of 2009" shipping estimate is still valid. Let's just say that $500+ price tag we saw floating around back in May better be substantially lower whenever this thing finally gets around to hitting up a store shelf.Garmin reaffirms 1H 2009 shipment of nuvifone originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 29 Oct 2008 10:33:00 EST.

Navigon launches 5100 max / 2090S GPS units at RadioShack
Filed under: GPS
We had a respectable hunch that Navigon's 5100 max would be hitting US shelves in short order, but we weren't aware that it'd be launching alongside a friend. As for the 5100 max, you'll find a 4.3-inch touchscreen, Reality View Pro / Lane Assistant Pro technology, handsfree Bluetooth support, text-to-speech, an Exit Guide and free real-time traffic updates for life. The little sibling (dubbed 2090S) checks in with a 3.5-inch touch panel and most of the same internal niceties already mentioned save for Bluetooth. Look for the cute couple right now exclusively at RadioShack (or RadioShack.com) for $299.99 / $199.99, respectively. Full release after the break.Continue reading Navigon launches 5100 max / 2090S GPS units at RadioShackNavigon launches 5100 max / 2090S GPS units at RadioShack originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 03 Nov 2008 08:00:00 EST.

New Survey Reveals Need For GPs To Challenge Status Quo In Management Of Seve...
Results of a survey launched today revealed that GPs are not referring their severe seasonal allergic rhinitis patients to secondary care, forgoing patient choice and care. The findings demonstrate that GPs cannot see the benefit of referring or feel that they are able to manage their severe allergy patients in their own clinics, despite an increasing number of patients presenting with the condition and concerns about symptom breakthrough on current therapies.

Joint Announcement on United States-Japan GPS Cooperation

Panasonic's portable Strada CN-GP50U GPS reviewed: not a winner
Filed under: GPS
As with Jeep's lackluster RT-300, Panasonic's portable Strada CN-GP50U GPS is probably better left on the shelf. We know, it'll be awfully tough to resist that magnificent 5-inch panel and the sleek black frame, but according to PC Mag, this thing is just so-so on its best day. For starters, the price premium over rivaling 4.3-inch units was tough for critics to justify, and coupled with a small POI database, sluggish performance and awkward destination / POI input, hope for success was pretty much extinguished. As if that weren't enough to frighten you off, reviewers also noted that data fields in the map view were "small and difficult to read," which probably should not ever be the case on -- you know -- a navigation system. We appreciate the effort, Panny, but we'd suggest nailing the basics next time before turning to pizazz.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments

AMA President, Dr Rosanna Capolingua, today called on the Government to immediately lift the cap on general practice training places, after it was revealed that more than 200 would-be GPs will be turned away. The Australian Institute of Health and Welfare reported today that patients' access to GPs in Australia has fallen since 2002. Dr Capolingua said patients are telling doctors it is becoming more difficult to get an appointment.
Women Rank GPs Top For Advice On Contraception, But Dept Of Health Funded Rep...
