GPS Satellite Navigation and Auto Blog

We are now stocking both the Mio C620 and C620T Sat Navs. This is the first Navigation device to ship with 3D models within the mapping.

The C620 and C620t will come equipped with a 4.3″ touch screen and MioMap 2008 software which is equipped with a new user interface and a completely renewed main menu. The new software will also be able to split the screen in two to provide more information on the route, and will also let you control other functions of the device such as the MP3 player, and the contact book to let you scroll through your contacts. C620 and C620t will also let users plan their trip before departure but the details of this feature are unclear.

The C620T will have added traffic information over the C620.

The C620T is available for £297.00 inc Vat

The C620 is available for £245.58 inc Vat

Prices correct at the time of writing.

Iriver have released some early press pictures of the Iriver M20. The early details of the unit are a little thin but this is a GPS Navigation device and Portable Media Player (PMP) with a 7-Inch LCD along with DMB in applicable markets.

No words on price or availability. In fact dont expect it in the UK anytime soon.

More pictures after the jump.

Holux is readying a new GPS navigation system called GPSmile 61 which was already on display at CES 2008. GPSmile 61 caught out attention with its shiny slim body design and sharp screen that measures 4.3 inches.

Specs are not yet clear but all we know that it supports 4GB SD cards, and can render maps in 3D. Looking at the picture we can also see that it has some sort of a media player.

We are a fan of Mio at Undetected they provide some great low cost GPS units and also provide some very high end units that easily compare to the like of TomTom and Garmin.

One of the other big GPS Satellite Navigation players is Navman who was acquired by Mitac back in February 2007. Mio and Navman are merging brands under the Mio nameplate however Navman will continue to exist here in the UK.

The takeover by Mio is supposed to merge the hardware competency of Mio with the software expertise of Navman and we hopefully see the Mio products improve even further over the next few years.
