Following up on the success of the Forerunner line, Garmin has introduced a new unit – the Forerunner 305. This has a much sleaker look than previous units, and can be easily used for biking, running or other sports. It has a heart-rate monitor like the 301 it replaces, and updated GPS receiver hardware that makes it quicker to acquire a signal and more accurate. Price around US$375 (!).
Garmin also introduces a new version of the Palm OS-based GPS, the iQue 3000. The new version is slimmer, has a more custom look and a lower price of around $400.
The Nuvi is the latest car navigation system from Garmin, and it looks like a solid entry with USB and SD support, 700MB internal storage, 3.5″ screen, and MP3 playback. Price unknown, but you can follow the adventures of this little wonder in CES-land by checking its blog. That’s right, the Nuvi has its own blog. Nutty ad execs…what will they think of next!
