Today at CES Garmin introduced a new line of nuvi 2400 GPS units as
well as their first ever GPS navigation app for iPhone and iPad called StreetPilot.
The
StreetPilot iPhone app has a $40 price point, making it a direct
competitor to other similar apps that commonly sell for upwards of $100.
The app brings all of the features you’d expect in a professional GPS
unit including turn-by-turn, fully spoken direction, real-time traffic
and weather data, lane assist technology, and 2D and 3D maps.
Street
Pilot also supports iOS 4 multitasking, giving users the ability to
take calls and use other features of their device without stopping
navigation instructions. The app also integrates with your iPhone’s
contacts in order navigate to addresses in Contacts.app. The $39.99
price tag comes with free map updates for the U.S. and Canada for the
lifetime of the app.
Garmin
also announced a new line of traditional GPS units with the nuvi 2400
series. There are four models in the series ranging from $250 to $350
including the entry level nuvi 2450, the 2450LM, the 2460LT, and the
2460MT. These devices are expected to hit the market by the end of
March.
You can download the Garmin StreetPilot app now for iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, and iPad WiFi+3G, running iOS 3.0 or later in here.
