Dual XGPS300 GPS and Battery Cradle for the iPod Touch
The new Dual XGPS300cradle for the iPod touch offers a couple of features for the intrepid navigator that might just help them get around a bit more easily. The Dual cradle is designed with a GPS and an extended battery in it to grab the GPS signals and allow you to do it for a more than the short time the iPod Touch battery would normally allow. When you buy the cradle, Dual's NavAtlas App is a free download that offers some good looking features, including Text to Speech, Navigate to addresses in your contacts list, realistic 3D views, built in maps but comes in a bit light on Points of Interest at 2 Million.
CNet just posted a review on the unit, and the system has its strong points, and seems to be suited for those who really want navigation on the iPod Touch. One odd design choice is that the cradle can operate either as a GPS or a battery extender/charger for the iPod Touch, but not both. The switch on the back of the cradle requires you to choose. The CNet review clearly points out the fact that the $200 list price and several concern areas make it not the ideal navigation choice.
