WiBro UTX Wings UT300
Posted in GPS SYSTEM on March 15, 2010


South Koreans always love a GPS navigation system packed with bunch of other features so their latest from UTX is no exception. Called Wings UT300 this device is a portable car entertainment system.

It has a 7″, sunlight readable, 800×480 wide TFT color LCD display, mini USB, and USB ports, video input for a rear camera, and an SD card slot.

In the box, the UTX Wings UT300 comes with a USB WiBro antenna so you can browse the internet, checkout live traffic cameras at blazing wireless speeds.

By they way, WiBro is a technology developed by South Korean telecom industry and it simply stands for Wireless Broadband. It is pretty much equivalent to IEEE 802.16e.

But that’s not all. Thanks to a separate DMB antenna you can also catch your favorite digitally broadcast TV channels on the go – though we do recommend you keep your eyes on the road.

It would be really cool if this would make to USA ten years from now because then we could really have the infrastructure to support such a device.

Leica mojoMINI GPS navigation system
Posted in GPS SYSTEM on March 14, 2010


Leica Geosystems seem to be getting ready to release a GPS navigation system in the U.S. of A. Looking at their product line they don’t seem to be focusing on consumer electronics so this probably would be their first attempt at the market.

This sat nav device which we came across the FCC site is called Leica mojoMINI and looks like most other GPS navigation system with a 4.3″ screen. It comes with a car charger, mounting bracket and cradle, and stylus for the touch screen. It has an SD card slot, mini USB charging port, headphone jack, and an embedded external speaker.

We’re not sure when this Leica mojoMINI will hit the market but we’ll be sure to let you know when it does [pdf].

Peg’s Posts: Data, any way you like it
Posted in Garmin Gps on March 12, 2010

405-time 405-heartrate The question I get asked the most by friends and acquaintances goes something like this: my Forerunner shows heart rate data in little tiny numbers. How do I get it bigger? Or: I only see time, distance and pace — how do I show calories? Since we’re all about options, most Garmin fitness devices let you customize multiple training screens with a variety of data fields. Choose fewer fields if you want the numbers bigger — more fields if you want to see more data on one screen. All you have to do is find your way to the main menu and then go through the settings submenus until you get to data fields or training pages. Best of all, you can set the screen up like you want for one workout and then change things up for another. Last night, my workout called for 800m repeats at the track, so I set up one of my FR60 screens to show lap pace and lap time so I could check my stats at a glance and make sure I was on track for my goal. If you want to customize screens on your Forerunner 405 or Edge 705, Jake will show you the way. If you have an FR60, I’ll take you through the steps. Check out the videos below.

Ask Garmin: Can I personalize my nuvi’s start-up screen?
Posted in GPS MANUFACTURERS on March 12, 2010

Absolutely! Any nϋvi with a photo viewer, which is the majority of nϋvis, will let you customize the start-up screen with a JPEG image. Whether you want to see a photo of your smiling kids or maybe you’re a fleet operator that wants to display your company’s logo, you can personalize the nϋvi with a few easy steps. This step-by-step tutorial explains the process using the nϋvi 1xxx series, but the steps are similar for most nϋvis.

6259 To get started, from the home screen go to “Tools” and then select “Picture Viewer.” Once in the Picture Viewer, select the image you want for your start-up screen. The image you select will go from a thumbnail to a large, full screen image.



5414 Click on the “i” icon on the left tool bar. Once you do, you’ll see a thumbnail of the image and the bottom of the screen will offer you the option to “Display at power on?” Check the box, and now get ready to admire your handiwork. The image you’ve selected will now be displayed when you power on your nuvi. 

New Picture (22) If you don’t like the preloaded images in the nϋvi , you can add your own image to the nϋvi’s Picture Viewer, by connecting your nϋvi to your computer via the USB cable and then drag and drop your selected image into the JPEG folder in the Garmin nϋvi drive.

biking directions on Google Maps
Posted in GPS SYSTEM on March 12, 2010

Google just keeps being awesome. They just recently announced a new service that provides biking directions for those who don’t rely on an automobile.

If you’re looking into riding your bike more often Google Maps is now your friend. When you choose biking directions form Google Maps the appearance of the map changes: dark green lines represent roads with no motor vehicles, light green lines represent streets with bike lanes, and dashed green lines show other streets recommended for cyclists.

Google Maps will automatically suggest routes that are not too steep and more suitable for biking.

It is not on Andorid/mobile devices just yet… but coming.

Thank you Google for helping those with a smaller carbon foot print.
