maxian t700 personal multimedia player with GPS cradle

Aug 10, 2006 gps navigation

Maxian is getting ready to release a new PMP. The T700 is a full size personal multimedia player that comes with an optional GPS car cradle to turn it into an sharp navigation system. The GPS cradle is somewhat similar to that of T43’s and it contains the SiRF Star III chipset. The question is the cradle does not seem to have a bluetooth connection to the device so you will probably lose your satellite fix if you ever need to remove the T700 from its base. The cradle also doubles as an FM transmitter and comes with integrated speakers so you can get your voice navigation prompts either from the cradle or from your car speakers.
