Hands-on with the Blusens G01 satellite imagery GPS
We were pretty stoked about the Blusens G-series PMPs that overlay guidance information on Google Maps satellite imagery when we first heard about them in October, and now Spanish site Xataka has a hands-on video with the G01, which appears to be just as impressive as we'd hoped. The satellite maps automatically appear when available for the area you're in, and Xataka says the unit itself is quite fast. Sadly, there isn't a ton more detail in the review, but those of you aching for some shaky camera work and cheesy country-rock tunes can check out the vid after the break.
Blusens intros GPS units with satellite imagery
Tired of looking at your lame, barely defined, primary-color GPS renderings, wherein the difference between your exit and a POI is merely a few hues on the RGB-wheel? Well, a company called Blusens wants to help you out... for a price, of course. The company has just introduced two new GPS navigators (the G01 and G02) that feature slick looking "real" maps (a la Google's satellite images), onto which GPS data is overlaid. The effect is pretty impressive -- and more than a little helpful if you're driving past some notable landmarks. The G01 features a 4.3-inch touchscreen, a 30GB hard drive, SD / MMC card support, plus video, audio, and still image playback. The G02 is much of the same, though it packs a 40GB hard drive and Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP support. The G01 will be out in November for a not-so-cheap €499, and the G02 is due sometime in early 2008, no word on price. Check the video after the break to see the magic happen.Read -- Blusens presents/displays new G.01 Navigator with real imageRead -- Blusens G01: GPS with real imageRead -- Blusens G02: GPS with real maps
Klegg Genesis GPS V-12 G01 / G02 navigation systems
While Klegg Electronics is typically known for its array of television sets and diminutive DAPs, these folks are now throwing down a new pair of GPS navigation systems in society's favorite color schemes. The Genesis V-12 G01 sports a trendy white / grey enclosure, 3.5-inch QVGA touchscreen LCD, a couple of LED indicators, rechargeable Li-ion battery, SD / MMC card slot, headphone jack, optional integrated microphone, audio / video playback, photo viewer, in-car mounting kit, and of course, the obligatory turn-by-turn guidance directed by a presumably robotic sounding dame. The G02 (pictured after the jump) features a black mesh motif, and interestingly enough, Klegg doesn't elaborate on why the ebony unit is superior to the G01, as both units tout the exact same specifications (sound familiar?), but the company does manage toss in a 1GB SD card with each unit. Although there's no hard details concerning price or availability, the G01 should reportedly end up running you somewhere close to $300 whenever these siblings land.Read - Klegg GPS V-12 G01Read - Klegg GPS V-12 G02[Via MobileWhack]
