Mar 30, 2007 gps navigation

Keomo is getting ready to release their first navigation system for only €179 ($230) in May this year. This low end device not only does GPS navigation but also can play your multimedia files allowing you to watch your videos, listen music, view images and read e-books.

The on-board navigation software is Smart2Go and the maps are provided by Navteq. For €179 you’ll get regional maps but if you are willing to spend another 40€ you can get maps for all Western Europe.

Here are some more specs for the new Keomo GPS navigation system:

• Display: 3.5 inch TFT LCD QVGA
• CPU: ARM9 core Samsung 300MHz processor
• SDRAM: 64 MB
• NAND Flash: 32 MB
• OS: Windows CE 4.2
• GPS: SirF Star III chip set

This is a great price for a good looking device that only measures 20mm thick and has a decent GPS receiver as well as a decent navigation software. We can’t wait for Keomo to load some Northern America maps on their systems and ship’em here to U.S. … via
