This GPS takes photos

In-car global positioning systems (GPS) took a whole new meaning when Navman introduced its new portable navigation device featuring NavPix. Now, you just need to click on the picture of your destination and you'll get directions to the place.

You must be thinking: If only it's as simple as that. In fact, according to Navman, it is.

The built-in camera on the iCN700 series allows the user to snap pictures of places he might want to visit again in future. These images can be uploaded and stored within an album on the company's Web site. In addition, users can also download photos from a shared online library or even assign complete longitude and latitude information to any digital picture.

Too bad rocketing fuel prices and costly car maintenance have promptly stopped us in our tracks getting one of these. But if you are residing in Europe, the iCN720 will retail for 399 pounds and the iCN750 for 549 pounds, including VAT.
