Here are new photos of the Navman ICN 510 GPS Pocket PC that we presented back on Sept 10. The unit can be used in landscape mode, which is pretty cool. Their Smart ST software looks very good as well, but I have not seen it in action, yet. The $449 price is OK. It's much better than the £499 that it is selling for in U.K
Everything so expensive in U.K...
