TeleNav Shotgun GPS Navigation System

TeleNav is officially out with its latest GPS navigation system known as the Shotgun, and this model aims to offer more than what a standard GPS device would. In addition to the 4.3″ LCD display, the Shotgun is able to hook up wirelessly via GSM to provide access to real-time traffic updates as well as Over-The-Air upgrades, including restaurant reviews, address sharing for easier and more efficient meet ups, the latest weather information, as well as Commute Alerts to stay up to par with the latest traffic conditions on your daily commute. In addition, you’re able to look for a wide range of POIs such as affordable gas and Wi-Fi hotspots via the Internet. Routes can even be set to your Shotgun from the desktop directly, courtesy of plug-ins in Firefox and Internet Explorer. Those who prefer a hand-carried GPS device will be happy with the Shotgun’s 4.9″ x 3.1″ x 0.75″ form factor. You can pick up the TeleNav Shotgun for $300, and it will come with three months of free TeleNav Connected Service. Those who opt for a 2-year plan will get it cheaper for $239 ($9.96/month), while a 1-year plan costs $129 ($10.75/month).
