It knows more than 12,000 courses in and out, giving you an edge no matter where you go golfing.

Not too bad for a device that simply tells you where to go—and gets annoyed if you decide to take a different route! (We affectionately call our Garmin GPS “Naggie” since she gets a dismissive tone if we choose to blaze our own shortcuts.).

The V7 Nav740 is a GPS unit aimed at people who are interested in a GPS for their car but have shied away from them due to their generally high prices.

If, like us, you a big fan of Archos' flagship 605 WiFi PMP then this is going to go down a treat...

Archos' unambiguously named 'GPS In-Car Holder' doesn't leave much to the imagination, but that doesn't make it any less welcome.

Featuring either European, North America or China mapping via Tele Atlas from launch, the peripheral brings full voice turn-by-turn instruction and takes advantage of the 605's touchscreen navigation.

Asus has not forgotten about cyclists by releasing a couple of exclusive packages targeting folks who rely on the bicycle as the primary means of transport. This mount package allows one to attach the Asus R300 to the handlebars without causing any distraction, and it sure as heck is much safer to have it mounted than hold it in one hand while the other hand is trying to steady the bike while on the road. The mounts also function as a form of defense against scrapes, scratches and rocks thanks to a protective cover.
