Re: Knight Rider GPS
For $269? Hmmm....
Dunno. I think, GPS technology has moved beyond just directions via screen/voice. Personally, I think anyone considering a GPS should get one which incorporates traffic data (not the paid XM necessarily, but Clear Channel has free traffic data via radio). Also, GPS should also double up as a blue-tooth speakerphone, if your car doesn't have that already. This thing is so convinient.
Some high end GPS provide lane-assistance which is invaluable, especially in complicated down-town and free-way situations. Also, 3D rendering of location greatly helps in identifying destination etc.
The other stuff from MSN Direct is probably too gimmicky and I am not sure if it is really all that useful.
