High-end Navigon 8100T GPS features panorama 3D view

11/10/08
This article that I found on CNET says that there is a new type of GPS out now. This new GPS shows a 3-D image of the terrain and etc, instead of a 2-D view now. Since it is now 3-D, it will help people find places better. The GPS uses NASA's terrain data and it provides digital elevation too. This GPS also accepts entering addresses by voice and the customer get's free real-time traffic news for life too.

I think that this is a new improvement into technology because we've moved from the 2-D GPS, into the 3-D GPS. This is a big step because people can now see the elevation that they are now on, and even get real time traffic news so they can avoid traffic, and find a differnt route home, or let the GPS find the new route home for the customer.
