One of Supa’s new GPS navigation systems, S1200G, comes ready to connect to a special cradle that includes a SIM card and a separate rechargeable battery.

The S1200G runs on a Freescale MX21 266Mhz processor and uses Microsoft Windows CE 5.0 operating system. This sat nav system has a 4.3″ touch screen, SiRF Star III receiver, 1300mAh Li-Polymer battery, and SD slot, as well as a mini USB port.

What functionality this GSM cradle will bring is not quite clear - but the lack of microphone is enough to prove it is not designed to make phone calls. The other obvious use for a GSM in a GPS navigation system cradle would be to bring 2 way connectivity such as Dash is doing (Magellan trying with 5340) but we’ll have to wait and see how Supa will translate this into the U.S. market - if at all.
