big WorldNav 7100 GPS for truckers

Not a lot of options are out there for truckers who prefer GPS navigation systems with big screens. But Navigadget is here to please everyone so we would like to take this opportunity to present you WorldNav 7100 GPS navigation system from TeleType.

TeleType GPS WorldNav 7100 offers a 7 inch color TFT touch screen, SD Slot for program, map, picture, video, music storage, built-in speaker (1w), and a stereo headphone jack. It even supports a rear view night mode camera.

And if you’re wondering a truck GPS navigation system is more than just a bigger screen. The device insures that routes will follow roads that are suitable for truck travel. It takes into account commercial truck restrictions such as bridge heights and clearances, load limits, one-way road designations, left-hand and dangerous turn restrictions, and allowances.

Motorola VC6096

Motorola VC6096

Motorola VC6096 is an in-vehicle/fixed mount mobile computer. Seems like the device is not for end consumers but rather the work force on the roads. Designed for transportation and logistics providers Motorola VC6096 promises to maximize driver productivity, improve safety and vehicle utilization.

As far as connectivity I don’t think anything can beat the VC6096. It’s got Integrated 3.5G GSM HSDPA WWAN as well as 802.11a/b/g WiFi… and when you speak of transportation and logistics you must have someway of telling where your fleet is. Therefore Motorola VC6096 also has a SiRF Star III GPS receiver. Oh yes, there is bluetooth too.

Other hardware specs include SD card slot, five programmable soft keys, mic and speakers; all running on 128MB of RAM, 256MB flash, 624Mhz processor and Windows Mobile 6.1 Pro… thanks

Navigon 5100 max clears FCC

Navigon 5100 max clears FCC

It looks like Navigon is taking a page from Garmin and Magellan's playbook, introducing a multitude of models with varying feature sets and at multiple price points. The next unit slated for roll-out appears to be the Navigon 5100 max, which just cleared the FCC. The feature set isn't entirely clear yet, but we expect to see Bluetooth, a 4.3' screen, text-to-speech, lifetime traffic and Zagat ratings (which we dearly love).

The 5100 max would be the fourth introduction for Navigion this fall.

Hopefully, we'll hear an official announcement in the next few weeks.
