Magellan's RoadMate 1470 is the first product released since the company was acquired by Mitac earlier this year, and if the 1470 is any indication, this is going to be a very good union indeed. An ultra-wide 4.7-inch display, easy to use interface, and uncommonly flexible routing options make the RoadMate 1470 one of the best GPS devices Magellan has produced in a very long time.

Garmin's first navigator designed for the trucking industry, the nuvi 465T brings a trucking-friendly set of features to Garmin's already excellent nuvi product line. If you drive a large vehicle, the 465T can navigate routes based on your truck's type, load, and physical restrictions. Even better, routing is customizable by height, weight, length, width, and hazardous materials.

Garmin has been steadily updating it's popular nüvi product, rolling out new units complete with updated map screens, lane guidance, improved GPS chipsets, free traffic, and more. First to receive the update was the entry-level nüvi 200 line, which has now been replaced by the nüvi 2x5 models. For example, the nüvi 200 has been replaced by the nüvi 205, and the 260 has been replaced by the 265, and so on.

Hitting the trails a couple of months ago, the Garmin Oregon 400t makes a big leap in technology for handheld GPS devices… the first major handheld GPS device with a touch screen display. Building on the foundations of the Colorado line, the Oregon line aims to make the GPS easier to operate through touch.
