GP75 from China – will it ever make it to U.S.?

Sep 19, 2006 gps navigation

Here is yet another great product from China that is very unlikely to make it to U.S, or even Europe. GP75 is a gps navigation system that looks just like its Western counterparts (think Garmin c340, TomTom One) and has a great set of features. It has a nice 3.5″ touch screen and comes with a stylus, and even has integrated speakers for voice guidance.

Another nice thing is that it comes in many different colors and it is clearly labeled as “GPS Navigation System” right on top of the unit so you dont confuse it with a blender or anything.
