We’ve had couple of posts about the new Novogo S series. Just recently Novogo made the S series official by putting the new models up on their website. They introduced three new models: S700, S700BT, and S900BT. They look exactly the same from the outiside measuring 115 x 81 x 34 mm and a weighing merely 240 grams. Also common on all three models is the 3.5″ anti-glare touch screen LCD, SiRF Star III GPS receiver, and the rechargeable 1800mAh Li-Ion battery.

The difference is models with BT at the end include bluetooth hands-free functionality. Also the 900BT comes with an RDS/TMC traffic receiver which is optional on the 700 and the 700BT.

All S series uses an Intel processor running at 400MHz and come with an SD card whose size depends on what kind of maps you are getting. For I/O you also get a mini-USB port which you can connect to your home computer with.

A neat feature on all the devices is based on the time and position given by the GPS device, NOVOGO S series can calculate when the sun rises and sets at your current location and changes the day and night colors automatically.

Also for certain regions the S series can provide speed limit warning which already includes the information regarding the speed restrictions of most roads. This feature is able to warn you if you exceed the current limit and save you from driving too fast and speeding tickets. You can also customize the parameters used by the speed warning.
