DigiTimes is reporting that Garmin, TomTom and Mio parent corporation Mitac are considering adding mobile TV to personal navigation devices. Hmm, I’m already bad at multi-tasking.
Gizmodo notes that "having a video device in the view of the driver while the car’s in motion is illegal in many states." I suppose it could come in handy though, allowing you to use your GPS as a personal media player on a plane, or just pass it to the kids in the back seat. Still, I don’t see it as being a very popular feature in the U.S.
About Rich Owings
I have a web service for converting database information to POI file that will work with Garmin, TomTom and others. The cost is $($100 for 1st 1000 Addresses) + ($0.05 for Each Additional Address). The web site is: DataToGPS.com.
Would you be able to list it on your http://gpstracklog.com/2006/03/custom_pois.html page?
