SiRFDirect technology announced

GPS manufacturer SiRF has just announced the SiRFDirect technology that empowers GPS navigation manufacturers to offer tracking and accuracy capabilities that are currently found in higher end systems. This new technology utilizes heading and acceleration data from the sensor embeddded within to get a better picture of your current location whenever GPS signals are low or non-existent. This is great for those who often travel through urban canyons and yet have no idea where they’re heading. Mio will be the first manufacturer to adopt this new SiRFDirect technology, and you can check out these new models at Computex Taipei 2007. Mio has christened this technology Navisteadi.
