Top Seller of the Week - Navigon 7200t GPS Unit
The Navigon 7200t is a great GPS device. It’s equipped with a bright and vivid 4.3″ touchscreen, making directions very legible. It’s one of the most user friendly GPS devices we’ve ever seen. Unlike many other GPS devices, traffic data works directly out of the box. You don’t need to meddle with downloads, CD’s, additional hardware, subscriptions etc. It just works. The voice destination entry allow you specify a street address by saying it out loud, while the 7200t pinpoints the route.
Of course, it has hands free bluetooth, speed assistant, text to speech, multi-destination trip planning and all the accouterments that comes with a top of the line GPS unit.
The Navigon 7200t is the real deal.
Travel Well Equipped with a Franklin Translator
Nothing ruins a nice European vacation faster than accidentally insulting your waiter’s daughter when you’re trying to just order the duck. How were you supposed to know that word meant something so horrifying in local slang? You, with your standard issue American monolingualism, don’t speak the native language. What’re you supposed to do?
Well, you could travel equipped with the tools to keep you from putting your foot in your mouth. Carry around a Franklin TG-450 European Language Translator and you’ll always know what to say. It’ll translate English into 12 different languages for you, and vice versa. This’ll allow you to handle your transactions with ease in the native tongue rather than your previous pointing and gesturing method, which is seriously awkward.
Microsoft’s Clearflow Keeps You Out of Bad Traffic
Microsoft knows you hate getting stuck in traffic. It’s stressful, it makes you late, and it’s just no fun. Hey, they hate it too! They’re hip; they’re with it. That’s why they’ve been hard at work on a new technology called Clearflow that they’ve just unveiled to the world, a program that’s explicitly designed to keep you out of traffic jams.
While a few GPS navigation systems can show you live traffic reports on your map, they are generally a few minutes behind and not as helpful as you’d like. What Clearflow does is look at traffic data from the past four years for the specific area you’re in, predicting what the current traffic is doing to the traffic of the surrounding areas and intelligently calculating the best route possible based on what it thinks the traffic situation will be like by the time you get there. No more traffic, no more stress, no more being late. Hey, thanks Microsoft!
