Up until now, we've seen quite a few GPS-enabled devices targeting golf players arrive on the market, most of them delivering all sorts of advanced functions and maps of numerous golf courses (typically around the US).

We've had quite enough with 3D display solutions for the time being (but don't worry, we'll get back to them soon enough), so we've decided to tackle a fairly different category of consumer electronics right now, namely car infotainment systems. So, one of the most important manufacturers of such solutions, ...

Mobile phones that do not feature a full touchscreen display should not be used as GPS tracking systems. Why, you ask me? Because normal phones with a small display and number pad make great mobile phones but lousy navigation helpers. Even if the GPS system voices its direction, you will ...
