New Magellan GPS
There are generally quite a few topic in here on GPS's and how to select your own route for them. Just today I got an e-mail from Magellan about a new Smart GPS. In the video that accompanied the e-mail it said you can do your route planning on your computer, tablet, or smart phone, and then wirelessly sink it to your GPS.
Since I haven't seen it in person I can't tell you how it works, but it does look a lot easier than having to wire the GPS to the computer and sync it that way. In looking at how they did it I don't think you even have to take the GPS out of the car or RV. It syncs through the Bluetooth on your smart phone.
It also appears to give you mobile commercials too based on your location, which may be a good or bad thing. One of the screens was showing gas stations ahead and the price of gas at those stations. That could come in handy. It was also showing little ads for restaurants and other attractions that are near by.
For those that are in to gadgets (like me) it may be a fun gadget.
