GPS navigator with digital camera
Apr 6, 2007 gps navigation
Yesterday we talked about GX652, a digital camera that accepted input from a GPS receiver. Today we have somewhat the opposite: A GPS navigation device that takes digital pictures. The idea is not very novel (see Navman N60i) but it is still worth mentioning. Nothing wrong with some competition. We think the device is called Hatchback GD06 (not clear from FCC documents) and is manufactured by Group Sense PDA of Hong Kong. It uses navigation software called TurboDog (TeleAtlas maps) and supports receiving of TMC messages. It can also play your MP3 files which you can keep on an SD card.
Not sure when it will be available to consumers.

[...] While there’s a myriad of all-in-one devices out there that can manage a turn or two of directional guidance, Group Sense PDA’s forthcoming navigator makes routing its number one priority, but dons something that most standalone GPS units lack: a camera. The Hatchback GD06, as shown off in an elusive set of FCC documents, will boast a touchscreen LCD, RDS-TMS support, headphone output, a calculator function, an integrated digital camera (pictured after the break), and utilize TurboDog navigational software. Additionally, users will find MP3 playback and photo viewing functions built-in, and the SD card slot will allow your excess files to come on board. The camera can purportedly be used to “take photos and save them as a geographical location,” which should perk the ears of the geo-tagging faithful at least. No word just yet on future pricing or availability, but it shouldn’t be too long before this passes right on through the FCC and onto overseas shelves. [Via NaviGadget] [...]
