Tuesday, September 30th, 2008Filed under: GPS, Transportation
Though one may assume Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger would have, um, more pressing matters on his hands these days, the man has somehow found time to address a complaint put forth by a-many travelin’ Californians. Just this week Mr. Schwarzenegger signed into law a bill that was put forth earlier this year that […]
Mio’s Knight Rider GPS gets reviewed, high-fived
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008Filed under: GPS
Sure, we’ve been totally into Mio’s Knight Rider GPS, but how does it really stack up? PC Magazine took it out for a test drive and found that the device is essentially a Moov 300, which they say has solid route calculation times and a straightforward menu system. The Knight Rider version comes […]
GPS sends another driver onto train tracks of doom
Tuesday, September 30th, 2008Filed under: GPS, Transportation
We’ve seen some pretty extreme cases of excessive faith in GPS, but this may well be the first instance of the ill-advised practice nearly exactly repeating itself. As you may recall, earlier this year a Bedford Hills, New York man trusted his GPS so much that he apparently thought it was perfectly […]

You love free things, right? Well, we love giving away things — so that’s kind of a match made in virtual heaven — and let’s be honest, in these dire economic times, you probably need all the free stuff you can get. Right now, we’re in the extremely delightful position of being […]

For you, dedicated K.I.T.T. fan, your moment in the sun has arrived, as Mio’s legendary Knight Rider GPS is finally shipping within […]
TomTom’s ONE XL II makes pit stop in FCC database
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008Filed under: GPS
Ever since TomTom’s latest ONE navigator hit back in April, we’ve been left waiting, wondering when the next ONE XL would ever surface. Thanks to the FCC and its all-knowing database, we can confidently say that the unimaginatively named ONE XL II (what, ONE XXL was taken?) is well on its way to […]
Caption Contest: PC fixer destroys Geek Squad Beetle, phones for tech support
Thursday, September 18th, 2008Filed under: GPS, Transportation
Comically enough, we already knew that Geek Squad employees took a few liberties with their company car, but this is a debacle. Can you imagine how enraged the poor sap is who was expecting this fool? They probably took a vacation day just to stay home and overpay for some potentially dodgy […]
BBNav GPS unit promises to aid disabled drivers
Thursday, September 18th, 2008Filed under: GPS
We’ve seen plenty of specialized GPS units, but this new BBNav device from UK-based Navevo looks to be the first one that’s designed specifically to help disabled drivers, or their families and caretakers. To that end, the system comes pre-loaded with information on more than 10,000 “Blue Badge” parking spaces and 3,500 disabled […]
Sanyo EasyStreet NVM-4370 GPS could save your child’s bike
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008Filed under: GPS
When it comes to name recognition, Sanyo doesn’t quite rank up there with the Garmins and Magellans in the GPS market. But, for the “right features at the right price” crowd, we think the newly official EasyStreet NVM-4370 will do just fine. It offers a 4.3-inch touch-screen, 4GB of memory plus an SD […]
Googling BMWs coming to US streets
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008Filed under: GPS, Transportation, Wireless
For more than a year lucky BMW-owning Germans have been hitting Google Maps, and more recently the rest of the Internets, at blazing (cough) EDGE speeds from their sport-seats. Now, Bimmer-owning Americans are getting a piece of the action with a little help from AT&T’s GSM-friendly network. However, while there’s no […]
