Mobile Crossing upgrades the Waypoint 100 and 200 PDA's
Mobile Crossing today announced significant upgrades to its WayPoint 100 and WayPoint 200 navigation systems including national maps and numerous new software features, improved user interface, increased performance and upgraded safety features.
Recall, the Waypoint 100 and the Waypoint 200 are Windows Pocket PC based PDA handhelds that offer a CF GPS receiver (WayPoint 100), or an integrated SiRF receiver (Waypoint 200). The Waypoint 200 also comes with integrated Bluetooth that allows for downloading traffic and weather (year one service is free). (See our related article on the Waypoint 200 Release)
The improvements represent the company's new top of the line for handheld navigation systems capable of being moved from one car to another. These National Edition WayPoints can now self-install entire regions of the country at no charge.
"The great thing about the WayPoint is there is no need to install map loading software on your PC," said Calvin Chu, Product Manager for Mobile Crossing. "Customers unfamiliar with the latest technology are sometimes daunted by complicated software installation features. These devices have a built-in feature to download their own maps, which is a boon for frequent travelers."
All WayPoints come standard with a car kit with integrated charger, amplified speakers and a home kit consisting of a desktop charger USB cradle. The WayPoint 200 includes Mobile Crossing's award winning Bluetooth GPS. The WayPoint 100 comes with a detachable CF GPS. Every WayPoint features full-color moving navigation maps on a bright touch screen display that is intuitive and readable in day light as well as low glare night conditions.
