Three days a ago, AT&T Wireless began selling the Garmin’s Nuvifone G60 GPS which is noted by the industry experts to be perhaps the most advanced navigational system ever to have been developed by the company. The question has been asked over and over again, is Garmin’s Nuvifone G60 a Phone with GPS or a GPS with inbuilt phone? One may ask because the device appears to have the best of both worlds in a well coordinated composition. It has a functional voice, data and mobile web capability.
Ownership of this super phone entities the user to several benefits. For instance you have access to over 20,000 AT and to WIFI Spots across the country. That’s not all. You also have tons of preloaded POIs.
The 3 mega pixel camera will be a welcome feature for many outdoor enthusiasts as it comes with geotagging features. Any picture taken is marked with the location which is quite useful if you intend to recall your visits or simply send the photos to someone telling them about the names of the scenes without saying so I the mail.
The device can be used as a standalone system but you have the option of a car mount. You can install on the dashboard or on the windshield.
If you park in a congested lot, you will find your way back to your car in case you are lost. This feature so works because as soon as you remove the device from the car, the position of the car is logged on the system.
For busy users, the multifunction GPS has preloaded Points Interest to minimize downloading at initial use. For demanding consumers, you have the option to subscribe to data services that offer more information. Despite the subscription, you have AT&T offers its Yellow Pages service. For a more advanced service, you can have real time fuel price update and weather reports.
I think before release, Nokia 5800 navigation edition has got a big competitor in US atleast.
The Garmin-Asus nüvifone product line represents a significant step forward in location based service (LBS) technology and offers a superior and innovative value proposition for those seeking an all-in-one, LBS-centric phone, mobile web-browser and personal navigator.
