Magellan suspends development on Maestro Elite 5340 connected GPS
Filed under: GPS, Wireless
First comes the fallout at Dash, and now this. Apparently GPS manufacturers are finally caving to the realization that the vast majority doesn't want yet another monthly fee tacked on in the form of a connected GPS -- particularly when so many of the non-connected navigators work so well. TWICE has it that Magellan has "suspended development" on its Maestro Elite 5340 with Google Local search, noting that even though it "believes there is great promise in connected navigation, in the near term, consumers have shown an unwillingness to pay a steep price for PNDs, especially with the recent economic downturns." If you'll recall, we actually toyed with this very unit back at CES, and sadly, it seems those hands-on shots are as close as any citizen outside of the company will ever get to it.[Via GPSTracklog]Magellan suspends development on Maestro Elite 5340 connected GPS originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 03 Nov 2008 16:02:00 EST.

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

Telenav Shotgun connected GPS launched, reviewed
Filed under: GPS
It doesn't seem like the connected GPS market is the best place to be at the moment -- Dash just dropped hardware sales in a radical restructuring and Magellan's halted development of the 5340 -- but Telenav isn't shying away, throwing its hat into the ring with the $300 Shotgun. A $12/month GPRS subscription gets you the usual slew of web-enabled features like real-time traffic and weather, live POI searches, gas pricing, and online trip planning, all wrapped in the usual Telenav PND UI and bolstered by 11 million preloaded POIs. Sounds like an interesting piece of kit, and it's apparently well done -- GPS Review took an early look at the 4.3-inch touchscreen PND and found it to be a "good start," albeit with some minor annoyances that will hopefully be remedied in a future software update. Still, we're just not all that convinced that another subscription fee is going to appeal to many in this economic climate -- we'll see if the Shotgun manages to fire. Peep tons more pics in the gallery.Gallery: Telenav ShotgunTelenav Shotgun connected GPS launched, reviewed originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 10 Nov 2008 00:01:00 EST.

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.

UMID F1 GPS-enabled, breathalyzin' UMPC available in Korea
Filed under: GPS, Handhelds, Tablet PCs
Does a UMPC with a breathalyzer still raise eyebrows? In addition to making you face your demons (something several family-led interventions have failed to do) UMID's F1 is a GPS-enabled device aimed clearly at drivers. This 7-inch, 800 x 480 LCD touchscreen PC sports HSDPA and WiMAX connectivity, a VIA C7-M 1.2GHz processor, WiFi and Bluetooth 2.0 connectivity, a GPS receiver, DMB TV tuner, FM tuner, a remote control and Windows XP Home. Available with 512MB or 1GB memory and up to 60GB storage, this machine is currently on sale in Korea. No word yet on pricing.

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.

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.

Women Rank GPs Top For Advice On Contraception, But Dept Of Health Funded Rep...
Nearly 60% of UK women rank GPs as their first port of call for information and advice on contraception, according to results of a survey among UK women and their own GPs.1 Around half of pregnancies in the UK are unplanned despite over three quarters of women under 50 using some form of contraception.2,3 Educating women about contraception and the choices available is important so they can make an informed decision about the right method for them and avoid unplanned pregnancy.
Joint Announcement on United States-Japan GPS Cooperation
The Government of the United States of America and the Government of Japan convened a plenary meeting in Tokyo, Japan, on November 10, 2008 to review and discuss matters of importance regarding cooperation in the civil use of the Global Positioning System (GPS) and GPS augmentations, including Japan's Multi-functional Transport Satellite (MTSAT) Satellite-based Augmentation System (MSAS) and Quasi-Zenith Satellite System (QZSS).
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.
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
Urgent Need To Train More GPs, Australian Medical Association
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.

Following recent misleading comments in some online media that GPs who are involved in assessing the mental capacity of patients must have insurance under the Mental Capacity Regulations 2008 the Medical Protection Society (MPS) has issued advice to its members to make the position absolutely clear.
