This isn't the first time that Nextar has offered free live traffic updates (courtesy of NAVTEQ) on one of its GPS units, but it is the first time that it's put Nav N Go's navigation software into use, which brings with it some easily updateable maps and, of course, some fancy 3D graphics. Otherwise, the device is a fairly standard 4.3-inch number, with it packing 1.6 million points of interest, an SD card slot for expansion, text-to-speech, the usual basic media-playback options, and that bundled live traffic receiver. So, nothing too extraordinary, but the $169.99 MSRP is certainly right, and you can pick this one up right now if you're in a hurry.

Here we go, the first honest to goodness GPS solution for the iPhone. Having already brought the solution to the PSP, Nav N Go have now worked their iGo My Way 8 magic into Apple's touchscreen devices. The prototype on display at CeBIT supports turn by turn directions and location finding via a WiFi key or fob. The WiFi key receives the GPS data and retransmits over WiFi while the fob offers the option to directly attach the unit to the iPhone or iPod Touch's docking port. Expect to hear more about these official 3rd party apps during our coverage of Apple's SDK launch event later today.

Update: Reader Owen S. just noted that Nav N Go is using Gomite's adapters to receive the GPS signal.

[Thanks, Andras]

Nav N Go announced the launch of the latest release of its 3D Navigation Software, Nav N Go iGO8, for the North American market. Curiously, the press release then goes on to announce that Sony will begin selling PSP bundled with Nav N Go iGO8 software in Europe in March '08 ... which, last time we checked, wasn't North America. But, for the Euro-challenged amongst you, Ingram Micro will include iGO8 in their V7 line of GPS units in Q208 while HP's iPAQ 310 Travel Companion will as well. The Nav N Go iGO8 software isn't content with mapping your world though, it also includes a music and video player, some games, and travel guides ... because that's what you've been waiting for in your GPS software, no?

The C620 and C620t seem to only differ in the traffic functionality built into the latter, as each will sport a 4.3-inch touchscreen display, the MioMap 2008 software with redesigned GUI and split-screen capabilities, an integrated media player, and a contact book for good measure. More importantly, however, are the new TeleAtlas maps, which purportedly boast "3D models of certain buildings, landmarks, and more." No news just yet on pricing or availability, but word on the street has these two showing up at this month's IFA expo.
