iPhone and iPod Touch accessories are a huge business and dashboard cradle that enable drivers to use their gadgets as GPS navigation devices make up a big part of that. The Dual XGPS300 cradle is one of the better ones by the looks of it, with a dedicated GPS receiver integrated into the model, and a specific focus on the iPod Touch.
It includes NavAtlas turn-by-turn navigation with TTS technology and NAVTEQ maps of the United States and Canada. It also includes a rechargeable battery, speaker, audio output and mini USB port. Not only can the Dual XGPS300 be used as a vehicular navigation device, it can be used in a handheld capacity as well, so if you’d like to take your iPod Touch on a geocaching adventure, you can!
The Dual XGPS300 iPod Touch navigation cradle is shipping in the first quarter of 2010 for $179.99. Competing products I’ve covered here before include the Kensington cradle and the NewerTech cradle.
