Looking for a new GPS unit? How about one of the two new Nextar creations? The SNAP 5 and the SNAP 7 are the devices I am talking about. The SNAP 5 has a 5-inch touchscreen while the 7 has a 7-inch touchscreen. Nothing unexpected so far, but it’s quite an upgrade from the SNAP 3 version! Both devices are just 0.7 inch thick and they will get you stereo speakers. text-to-speech support, Tele Atlas maps, an SD card slot, MP3 player functionality, 2D/3D viewing modes, a rechargeable Li-ion battery and a magnetic docking station.

Both devices will arrive at the SEMA 2008 in November but they will arrive in stores only next Spring. Prices you ask? $299.99 or $349.99, depending on which one you’ll pick!

The Panasonic Strada CN-GP50N GPS personal navigation device is on its way to the European markets after its launch in Japan and North America. The device featuers a 5 inch wide touchscreen LCD display for superior visibility. With support for as many as 21 languages, this is ideal for driving around in Europe.

The Panasonic CN-GP50N also features Bluetooth support, letting you answer/reject phone calls from a compatible mobile phone. A JPEG image viewer is provided on-board. The GPS device takes in SD memory cards.

Priced at €400, the Panasonic Strada CN-GP50N will be available in Europe starting October 20, 2007.
