What do you want out of a navigation system? Whatever it is, Roadbank's probably got it.Equipped with a SiRF Star III chip and an SD slot for DivX application, and an AV in/out for integration with an external display, Hyundai's grab at the DMB/PMP/GPS device market seems like a sound business decision. There's been a certain scarcity of Korean representation in the field lately, which probably

According to NaviGadget, HTC's rumored GPS enabled Pocket PC Phone is called the "HTC Artemis". I figure the device is not so aptly named as the Roman goddess Artemis was goddess of the hunt and would frequently roam mountain forests and uncultivated land, not at all analagous to what HTC is doing with this new device - it's a sort of been there, done that idea.The phone is reported to be

I was waiting for a story like this. Ofcourse, no paper in the US would concern themselves with similiar stories - they're too focused on scaring the crap out of us. Anyways, the story comes from Australian IT news.Basically, a courier who had his van stolen has been able to retrieve the vehicle after police tracked it using its GPS location system.

As GPS systems increase in popularity obvious consequences occur. For one, the increase in features and technological advancements. Another, the hallmark of a popular technology is the decrease in price. This new GPS tracker, the Mini GPS Sendum, is representative of both increased features and decreased price. On first glance, it might look like an inordinate amount of money. However, if this

Canadians in Ottawa are testing a system that combines onboard GPS technology with a digital speed limit map. It looks and works like the current dash-mounted GPS navigation systems.

Thieves are no longer interested in your car, not as much as the high-tech stuff you carry in it. According to the FBI, BlackBerries, iPods and GPS systems are the new widely targeted devices. The most recent crime statistics show that motor vehicle theft last year remained nearly the same as in 2004. But thefts of parts and accessories from vehicles has jumped 30% since 2000.
