The design of most standalone GPS systems can best be described as functional, but Shinco's Voyager GPS 400's white finish adds a bit of variety to an already crowded market. Its colour aside, the design is similar to Navman's iCN 520 or Mio's 269+. There is a fold-up aerial attached to the back, a touch screen and short cut buttons for the main menu and to zoom in and out. (1249 clicks)

LG has finally spilled some detail about its upcoming GPS Navigation device, the LN-600 model. The LN-600 boasts a fairly subdued black shell, but the blue-lit buttons rock a little bit of personality. The 4-inch touchscreen makes for an intuitive interface, and everything should be speeding along with the Samsung ARM9 300MHz processor running the show. Maps come by way of NateQ and Destinator, but this unit only has SiRF II. You'll also find internal speakers, 512MB of memory, and turn-by-turn voice guidance in ten languages. (1038 clicks)

You know we were damned curious to see what the front side of the widescreen Garmin N?vi 660 looked like. Unfortunately for us, it looks remarkably like like the N?vi 300 and 360, but that doesn't mean we're not gonna write about it. As you may know, according to best buy this device should have a 4.3-inch 480 x 272 display, 700MB of internal storage, SD slot (duh), and all the rest of the GPS power that makes a Garmin a Garmin.
