Rand McNally just launched a new personal navigation device (PND) called the GPS Navigator. I could not find a press release so I am not sure of the release date, but you can see the devices on the Rand McNally home page.
I am not sure that it is an official launch since the site says that the device will not begin shipping until September 22nd.
Anyway, here are some of the details.
Unique features:
- Simple, intuitive, and easy-to-use system with preloaded maps of the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands for voice-guided door-to-door routing
- Portable and lightweight design that's a full inch thinner than many GPS devices in its class, so it takes less space on the dashboard or in your a purse or briefcase
