British village wants to opt out of GPS system
Lorries. Lots of lorrries. Lorries facing the wrong way and having to turn around in their back yards. Angry lorry drivers. Life turned LIVING HELL.
Those are the mass complaints of the inhabitants of the once-sleepy village of Wedmore – a village which has been turned into a HELL HOLE thanks to the amount of traffic GPS systems are throwing through its narrow streets…
Mio planning 3G GPS phone for 2008
GPS is the final piece of the mobile phone world domination plan. Mobiles can play music now. They can play films. They can do the internet. All we need now are decent, free GPS features and every other gadget can get the hell out of our pockets and onto eBay.
GPS specialist Mio’s 3G GPS phone plans are a response to the mass arrival of the new wave of super-spec GPS phones…

HTC adds another model to their Touch family, the Touch Cruise with GPS
I’m a firm advocate of the HTC Touch family, having been an obsessive user of the first-gen model since it launched in June, and been salivating over the new Touch Dual we saw back in October. Heck, even the purple Ted Baker-branded Touch from the other week has got me dreaming of the day my mobile contract expires.
Sadly it doesn’t look like my obsessive thoughts about the Touch are going to be disappearing any time soon, as they’ve just…
Considering a GPS system? It could get you off paying a speeding fine…
GPS systems are normally regarded as more trouble than they’re worth, but how’s this for helping you settle your mind once and for all on the should-I-or-shouldn’t-I issue: they may just help you dodge speeding tickets.
At least, that’s what one 17-year old boy is hoping, who was caught in California doing 62MPH in a 45MPH zone. He’s contesting the speeding fine he received from the police, as the GPS system his parents installed…

Never lose your dog again with the GT40 pet tracker
I saw this gadget and leapt for joy, until I realised that it's currently only available in China. Why? Because I have a disobedient dog who, maybe once or twice a month, will run away and not come back…
Mio C720t GPS system features a digital camera for image navigation
You can always tell when we consider a product we’re writing about just a tad bit boring, as we minimise the size of the picture and shove it off to the left like so. Sadly, 450pixels-wide pictures of GPS systems just don’t work as well as iRobot ConnectRs.
Mio’s latest GPS navigation device, the C720t features a digital camera – 2-megapixels to be exact – which allow you to embed GPS coordinates into an image and help you find your way back to the location as if it were an address. Navigadget, the site where we stole this story fromare kindly linking back to, claim…
