For $1100 this GPS better be able to make me a hot toddy while navigating me through the streets of Bangkok. This is Magellan's new RoadMate 800. It has an integrated hard drive and includes an MP3 player and a photo viewer. The purpose of the hard drive is to primarily hold the massive amounts of information that the RoadMate 800 contains, including six million interest points. It contains detailed maps for the United States and even has maps for 27 European countries that can be unlocked. The RoadMate 800 also contains a new cool feature called SmartDetour that will redirect your route if a detour is forced or you take an unexpected pee break. The RoadMate 800 should be shipping next month.
