GPS is all the rage these days--both among holiday shoppers and among manufacturers looking for a piece of the pie. The latest entrant: LG Electronics, which is now shipping its LN790 Digital Navigator.
This premium $449 GPS features a slim design, Bluetooth connectivity, and a bright, 4.3-inch touch screen display, in 16:9 aspect ratio. The unit comes preloaded with maps for the United States, Puerto Rico, and Canada, provides turn-by-turn navigation, and offers real-time traffic information in 50 North American cities via optional subscription. Navtek supplies both the traffic data and the millions of points-of-interest entries.
The Bluetooth connectivity lets you use this device as a speakerphone for hands-free calling. Plus, the multipurpose, multimedia-capable LN790 handles music, photo, and video playback.
