Motorola introduces MOTONAV TN20 / TN30 GPS devices

While not packing nearly the pizazz offered in the AURA, Motorola's two freshest navigators don't look half bad. Up first is the dead-simple MOTONAV TN20, which provides spoken street names and turn-by-turn directions, NAVTEQ 2D / 3D maps of the continental US and a 3.5-inch touch panel. The slightly more sophisticated MOTONAV TN30 picks up where the TN20 left off and adds in maps of Puerto Rico and Canada, four million searchable points of interest, a 4.3-inch touchscreen and Bluetooth handsfree support. Both systems include a SD slot for updating maps, a mini USB port for charging, speed limit display with warnings and the obligatory on-screen speed, distance, arrival time, elevation, and distance traveled tidbits. If you're into either, you'll have to scoot over to the RadioShack most convenient to you and plop down $199.99 / $299.99, respectively.

What is 'headsfree' support?

It's so you don't have to use your head when calling - Let the GPS do your thinking for you. Just relax, and let them do all the thinking for you. Become a mindless drone.

That is when a ninja jumps out of the screen and cuts your head off.. But of course the ninja has to wear a mask which resembles the awesome Motorola logo Engadget has put together ;)

Looks like I'll have to buy the TN30 for my constant road trips to Puerto Rico.

I hate that company name "COX". Specially when my wife says she loves COX. She's satisfied with COX.

Always glad to help =)

You don't have a wife, tubby... Unless you finally got hitched to your iPhone and/or Steve Jobs. Polygamy FTW?

I didn't even know Motorola made GPS receivers. Kind of like their MP3 player - I didn't know Moto made one until I saw it advertised on Robby Gordon's stock car.

The point of the Bluetooth capability is that audio of the turn-by-turn directions can be sent to a bluetooth mobile phone headset.

Ummm not so much. It's so that you can make and receive handsfree calls through it. Pretty much like every other GPS with bluetooth.
