The Magellan RoadMate GPS #CES

This from Magellan at CES today – Magellan’s decision to “go big” with the company’s successful line of 7-inch screen auto GPS has paid off in a big way. Originally designed for SUVs, RVs and trucks, the extra-large screen size has been embraced by everyone from seniors to off-roaders, to teenage care enthusiasts. The newest family member is the feature-rich RoadMate 9055 with lifetime traffic, Bluetooth connectivity to mobile devices and, thanks to an exclusive partnership with AAA®, the AAA TourBook built into the unit. The unit will also support Magellan’s new back-up camera scheduled for release this spring – see http://www.gisuser.com/content/view/22351/2/

At CES today Nike and TomTom unveiled the Nike+ SportWatch GPS.  I’m really digging this one.. mainly because I like gagdets, I’m into all things location-enabled, oh… and I like to run! The Nike+ SportWatch GPS plugs neatly into any USB port on a Mac or PC, then immediately launches the Nike+ Connect interface which automatically transfers information to www.nikeplus.com. The Nike+ SportWatch GPS is scheduled to be at retail stores and online in the U.S. and the U.K. beginning April 1. See more specs at http://www.gisuser.com/content/view/22343/2/

Fave Geo Tweets – Apple Launches Mac App Store

by

Twitter is buzzing today with tweeps excited about the launch of the online Mac App Store – I almost wish I had a Mac so I could rush off and grab me some apps! For Geo developers, this is huge news and provides plenty of reasons why you need to consider developing apps and Geo web services for Mac and iOS!

Via @ceoSteveJobs “We have created for the first time in all history, a garden of pure ideology. Introducing the Mac App Store.”  See Tweet HERE

Also… @mashable Apple Launches Mac App Store With More Than 1,000 Apps   See Tweet HERE

From Mashable… The Mac App Store is essentially the desktop version of the same experience that iOS users have been enjoying for years: a categorized list of apps that are easy to find, buy and install. Click on an app, enter your iTunes password (the same one you use to buy apps through your iPhone), and you’ll be able to use your new app as soon as it’s downloaded and installed.

You can find the Mac Apple Store at http://www.apple.com/mac/app-store/
