Sanyo has a big line of Gorilla GPS navigation systems and they added a few new ones just yesterday. The new systems are called Sanyo Gorilla NVA-GS1580FT (pictured above), NV-SD750FT, and NV-SB510DT.

G5 connected GPS navigation system

G5 connected GPS navigation system

Chinese dMedia is getting ready to display a new GPS navigation system called G5. This is their first attempt at a two way connected device that features a GSM/CDMA module.

It would be an understatement to call this just a navigation system as G5 also features a digital TV antenna that can play your favorite shows on its 5″ screen. You can also use it as a phone thanks to its speaker and microphone. There’s also the A2DP Bluetooth which provides the convenience of wireless audio through your earpiece during navigation voice guide, listening music, or phone conversations.

It offers text to speech feature, FM transmitter to broadcast the sound through your car stereo, and supports various multimedia files so you can keep yourself entertained while your girlfriend tries on her 8th outfit in one store.

We don’t have any information when this device will the shelves in the U.S., if at all but you may be pleased to know that G5 has an open platform that allows 3rd party applications to be developed and applied on it.

My first radar detector only had a row of green and red lights and beeped when you got close to being nailed by a radar gun--awfully quaint in comparison to all that Cobra's 2009 radar devices can do. There are six new units ...

Also announced today is Navigon 2090S. A more affordable and smaller GPS navigation system compared to the Navigon 5100 max which we just talked about.

• Advanced Text-to-speech


• NAVIGON FreshMaps


• Lane Assistant Pro


• Fast Destination Entry with latest generation of software


• DirectHelp


• 3.5’ touchscreen display
