When you are going somewhere and using a GPS device, you want accurate maps. With the road construction going on around the country and new businesses and neighborhoods going up, maps are outdated almost as soon as they are released.

The GoBandit HD GPS camcorder offers 720p HD video recording capability, is waterproof and comes with a lens that rotates. It also has built-in GPS which shows your current and maximum speed as well as altitude on a 3D map. Pretty neat.

Well, that didn’t take long. The Nokia X6 16GB is now official. Yesterday we told you about the pink version. The phone doesn’t have Comes With Music, but here’s some of what it does have:

This one features Symbian S60 5th edition, a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, 360 x 640, HSDPA, Wi-Fi, GPS, Ovi Maps, free navigation, TV out and a 5-megapixel camera.

We haven’t seen any interesting watches from Timex for awhile now, but check this guy out. It’s the company’s new GPS-on board watch. It will be arriving next month, going by the name Ironman Global Trainer. Yes it has GPS and is not fugly.

It features real-time speed, pace and distance data courtesy of the SiRFstarIII module inside, and it also boasts 50 meters of water resistance, a customizable display to showing off all of the data and it can send performance reports to your PC. It’s compatible with Timex heart rate and bike sensors and third-party power meters using ANT+ wireless technology. Did I mention that it looks nice?

A motorcyclist has many of the same needs as a car driver when it comes to a GPS device. They want maps and an easy to use interface. However, the motorcyclist also has a completely different set of needs that require a robust device.

Garmin has announced a new GPS device for motorcycles called the z mo 220 that has a 3.5-inch color screen and is water resistant. The device can also stand up to fuel splashes and works while wearing gloves.

Apparently Garmin wants to play cupid to European lovers this Valentine’s Day with the just released Garmin Nuvi 1245 City Chic. And yes, that is an actual red Garmin device. Not the usual gray/black. It also comes with a red leather case, which will help it match ladies’ bags etc.

Despite the obvious over-the-top female design, (just look at that heart) it does have some useful features. You have your usual navigation options, plus a pedestrian navigation option. Although it will cost you about $10 per city for the cityXplorer maps.

Motorola has announced two new GPS navigation devices, the TN700 and TN500. They are both “connected” devices, however you’ll need to hook them up to a Bluetooth-enabled cellphone if you want to transfer data. The technology comes from Airbiquity and the Google Search capability augments the internal POI database.

The TN500 has a 4.3″ widescreen display with lane guidance, junction views and spoken street names, while the TN700 has a larger 5.1″ cinematic display along with other features found on the TN500, but adds real-time traffic with an optional dash cradle.

GPS lingerie brings with it a whole bunch of ethical issues. You could potentially locate a cheating wife, or use it in an escort service situation where a pimp can keep tabs on his/her girls, or even play weird GPS sex games if that’s your deal.

For better or worse, Lindelucy of Brazil has outted GPS lingerie that lets you keep track of where the wearer is at all times. Not what they are doing sadly for voyeurs. We shouldn’t worry about the ethical issues that much. The lingerie will be taken off in a matter of minutes.

One of the things that I like about the iPhone is that I don’t need a GPS device, music player, or MID — the iPhone does it all. There are other devices on the market that have GPS functionality built-in and the ability to use a smartphone as a navigation device is a popular feature with many consumers.

Navigon has had a navigation app for the iPhone out for a while now and at CES, the company has announced that it has onboard navigation apps coming for phones on the Android platform and those running Windows Mobile.

If you have ever had to get your car worked on at the shop or have looked under the dash by the drivers legs you may have noticed the little port on your computer controlled car. That Port is the OBD II port and it allows the shop to see any errors or warnings that the car’s computer has recorded.

That same port can be used by the driver to glean data about their ride if they have the right equipment. Garmin has announced a cool new device called the ecoRoute hd that plugs into that OBD II port and wirelessly sends information about your car to compatible Garmin GPS units.

I like my GPS device when I am going on long trips, but I am not a big fan of the windshield mounting. My car has a deep dash and steep windshield, which means the GPS is a long way from me. The suction cup won’t stick to my dash though.

Bracketron has announced a new GPS accessory called the Nav-Mat II that is designed to sit on your dash and hold you GPS device. The mat is flexible and uses something called TemporBond to stay in place.
