CES 2008: Garmin Mobile PC

Jan 4 2008, 7:00am CST | by Luigi Lugmayr

Garmin announces at the CES 2008 a kit to turn your notebook into a navigation device dubbed Garmin Mobile PC.

Garmin Mobile PC features the same easy“Where to?” and “View map” interface found on the Garmin nüvi® and StreetPilot. In addition, customers can navigate to Outlook contacts stored on their laptop.
Garmin Mobile PC is available in two configurations – a software only package and a bundle with software and Garmin’s new GPS 20x sensor.

software only version is compatible with broadband modems, as well as internal or third-party GPS receivers that provide the industry standard NMEA GPS data via serial or Bluetooth connections. The bundled version includes the new GPS 20x, a high sensitivity GPS sensor with a USB connection. The lightweight GPS 20x has non-skid pads for dash mounting and is less than two inches in length.

Garmin Mobile PC also provides free access to Garmin Online services. This real-time, internet data service simplifies trip planning by providing live weather, flight status, hotel rates (U.S. only), fuel prices (U.S. only) and safety camera data (Europe only, with subscription).

The Garmin Mobile PC with GPS 20x bundle will be available in April for a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $99.99. The software only version of Garmin Mobile PC is expected to be available for a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $59.99.

CES 2008 will start on January 7th, but the new product announcements are already pouring in.
