TwoNav Aventura is a lust-worthy GPS

May 27, 2009 by Rich Owings  

I don’t often write about GPS receivers that aren’t available in the U.S., but I’m making an exception today with the TwoNav Aventura. For one thing, the company is on the lookout for a stateside distributor, so we may see it here yet. Another reason is it will accept just about any kind of [...]
