Posted January 5th, 2009 Users of GPS software often say they would like to have access to a trial version to make sure it meets their needs, as can be done with other types of software. So let's welcome ZorroGPS who are doing just that with a 48 hour trial period...soon that is, as the download links will be active around January 14th.
In addition to the trial period, ZorroGPS also stands out with its unusually low pricing (€22 for the USA, €36 for Europe), the use of the latest Navteq Maps from Q4/2008, city and regional versions, TTS (Text to Speech) or transit systems navigation...It is expectedly compatible with PDAs and Smartphones but also with PNAs that generally don't let end users add software. The many versions are also a bit confusing...Let's stay tuned for an updated website by the end of the week and the downloadable trial on January 14th...In the meantime you can use the [GPS for Trial] ZorroGPS to the rescue...soon ! topic in the "GPS and Mobile News" forums to discuss.
Posted August 18th, 2004 - For those who like to experiment with new GPS navigation software, here's your chance! A (10 day ?) trial version of the slightly oddly named PapaGO, a navigation solution very popular in Asia and that offers international coverage with Australia, South Africa, Singapore, China, Europe, etc...
Updated December 29th, 2008 It's the "quiet period" with the holiday season giving most people a chance for a break, but Garmin's engineers are staying busy in Olathe, KS apparently since a new v4.60 update has just been made available.
On offer are : correction to optimal route reordering, added support for two traffic providers, and corrected issue with speed limits on certain roads. You can use the [IMPORTANT UPDATE] Firmware 4.60 for 7X0 Released topic in the Garmin nüvi forums to discuss.
Updated December 3rd, 2008 - The Garmin nüvi 7x5 series (765 with Bluetooth and 755 without) are turning out to be a big hit, which isn't surprising given their excellent feature set built on the solid 7x0 platform now using the MTK v1 GPS Chipset...
Updated December 19th, 2008 When they launched their beta testing program back in July, Transplant were only using the Navigon navigation software, but the first model to become available on a wide scale, as a Staples exclusive, the RightWay 200 uses ALK's CoPilot v7. This makes it the first AIO to use CoPilot in the US. We already have one member with one of these devices in the Rightway RW200 with ALK CoPilot - Reviews topic in the "All in One" Navigation Systems forums so join us there.
Updated July 2nd, 2008 - After a successful string of GPS receivers for PDAs and PCs, including the first Bluetooth GPS ever, the Emtac BT GPS in late 2002, Transplant GPS have just announced their first RightWay AIOs, the RW250, RW355 and RW450, all based on the Navigon GPS engine and interface. They are planning to have them available in Q3/2008 with further models possibly featuring Bluetooth, TMC and WiFi in the pipeline for 2009...
