Archos 605 GPS

Apr 23 2008, 11:53pm CDT | by Luigi Lugmayr

French Archos follows the Korean PMP makers and offers GPS navigation into their media players.

Archos is not integrating the GPS chip inside the 605 WiFi. It offers a car holder that has the GPS chip inside. The Archos GPS accessory provides complete navigation support with Tele Atlas maps, available for the European version covering 22 countries, the North America version covering the U.S. and Canada, and a Chinese version. The GPS car holder works with all Archos 605 Wifi models.

The ARCHOS GPS In-Car Holder can be purchased separately for $129.99 to work with any ARCHOS 605 WiFi model, or bundled together with the 30GB player for $399.99.
The bundle will include the traffic and speed control assistance features, as well as route planning. The GPS In-Car Holder and bundled ARCHOS 605 GPS will be available in May 2008.

ArchosFans attended an Archos press-event and published a video for the Archos 605 GPS in action. See it below.
