Dual GPS cradle brings navigation to iPhone, iPod touch

Supports handhelds without built-in GPS

Dual Electronics on Tuesday revealed the XGPS300 GPS cradle, which enables an iPhone -- or the typically GPS-lacking iPod touch -- to perform turn-by-turn car navigation. The device contains its own GPS sensor, and is bundled with NavAtlas' navigation software. Other hardware features include a speaker, rechargeable battery, audio output and a mini USB port.

The XGPS300 will ship later in November and cost $180, coming bundled with a windshield mount. [via GadgetReview]

Get an Android phone instead of an iPhone, and Google's turn by turn navigation is free

how insane the pricing. A new iPhone 3G, $99. The absolutely FABULOUS CoPilot Live 8 $35. Lets see, $134 for far superior over all solution, or this $180 excuse. Upgrade the damn phone.
