    Magellan RoadMate 1700: 7-inch Screen, For When Size Matters

    Magellan Does the Dash Thing: Maestro Elite 5340+GPRS Connected GPS with Google Local Search

    We've been waiting for a mainstream GPS maker to go the way of the innovative GPRS-powered Dash Express. Well, Magellan jumped first, embedding its own GPRS connectivity into a navigator and partnering with Google for dynamic local search wherever you have GPRS reception. (Dash is partnered with Yahoo's local search, which is nothing to sneeze at.)

(Press release after the jump.) More »
