Royal - those guys which make typewriters and cheap PDAs - are dipping their toes in deeper CE waters with the quiet release of a new GPS system. It is called the Royal Expedition Portable Navigation System and it is priced at around either $250 or $400, depending upon where you look online.

The Royal Expedition Portable Navigation System is very much your garden variety GPS system, though we hear you can type a mean newsletter with it as well. It is loaded with United States and Canada maps, offers a touchscreen interface and also doubles as a MP3 player with 2GB of SD memory card memory.

Other features of the Royal Expedition Portable Navigation System include turn by turn voice directions, over two million points of interest, digital photo viewer and a few included mounts. It should be available now at your local typewriter dealer…
