GPS City Announces Availability of Garmin Dakota Series

2009-06-27T21:02:00.000-07:00

- GPS City (GPS City.com) has officially begun taking the first pre-orders for the much-speculated Garmin Dakota 10 and Garmin Dakota 20 series.

The Garmin Dakota series was made official by Garmin Intl on Friday, June 26th, and the units will begin shipping in July to customers who place their pre-orders with GPS City. The Dakota series will combine many of the powerful tools of Garmin's eTrex series with the touch-screen technology of the newer Oregon line, albeit on a slightly smaller screen.

The Dakota 10 will feature a glove-friendly 2.6-in color touchscreen and weigh 6.75 ounces, and will last approximately 20 hours on a single set of batteries. No slouch in the memory department, the Dakota has 850 MB of internal memory that will store 50 routes, 2,000 geocaches, and 1000 waypoints. By upgrading to the Dakota 20, users will additionally find a 3-axis tilt-compensated compass, a barometric altimeter, wireless connectivity, and a microSD card slot.

With prices starting in the $200-range, the unit will find itself in competing with the best-selling Garmin GPSMAP 60CSx and 76CSx units, although many believe it is poised to take over for the aging-but-versatile eTrex lineup. 'It's exciting to see Garmin bringing the technology they've advanced so well in the Oregon to a new more affordable price point,' remarked Brenton Wingard, vice president of GPS City. Dan Bartel, vice president of global sales for Garmin agreed, adding, 'As families and friends explore the outdoors, Dakota helps keep their adventures affordable and enjoyable.'

Pre-orders are being accepted now at www.gpscity.com and www.gpscity.ca, and the units are expected to be released in July.

New Garmin Topo Canada Maps announced

2009-04-22T00:00:00.000-07:00

Topo Canada with DEM data has been anticipated for a couple years now, ever since Garmin announced Topo USA on DVD with DEM data. The new maps will contain the 2D NTS topo data everyone is used to but with the addition of 3D DEM data. DEM (digital elevation model) data gives a 3D look to the popular Garmin mapping by adding shaded elevation data to the maps.

Not all GPS units take advantage of the DEM data but if you have a newer Nuvi, Oregon or Colorado GPS then you are in luck. Even if your GPS cannot display the shaded relief data (DEM) you can utilize the info on your PC when you analyze your track and waypoint information.

Special Features;

Topographic coverage of Canada, 1:50,000 scale for most areas and 1:250,000 in others
Built in DEM and 3D shaded terrain data
Trails and routable roads across Canada
Point of Interest Data
Searchable Database of cities, geographic names, summits, lakes, parks, and much more
National, regional and local parks, forests and wilderness area info
BaseCamp on DVD only for data management and trip planning via your PC

About Geocaching;
Geocaching is a GPS game played by GPS enthusiasts world wide. In most cases, a waterproof container is hidden somewhere in the world, containing lots of trinkets and traceable items. The co-ordinates of the cache are placed on the Geocaching website for other members in the area to access. A player (cacher) then goes to the official geocaching website and downloads/enters the GPS co-ordinates, and some helpful hints, for the placed cache. When a cacher finds an geocache they will log their find on the geocaching website. For official rules on geocaching and to get started visit http://www.geocaching.com .

GPS City Announces Garmin Zumo 660 Shipping Dates

2009-04-01T22:59:00.000-07:00

The Garmin Zumo 660 will be released for shipment at the end of April, 2009, according to Las Vegas-based GPS City. Designed to integrate the latest in GPS navigation technology, the Zumo 660 will provide the most advanced navigation available to date for motorcycle owners.

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) April 19, 2009 -- GPS City (www.gpscity.com) is pleased to announce that the highly-anticipated Garmin Zumo 660 will begin shipping at the end of April. Serving as a strong start to the second quarter for Garmin and just in time for riding season, this all-purpose motorcycle navigator is already at the top of most cyclists' wish lists. It boasts a slim body design, wide screen, advanced Junction and 3D building views, and a host of other "under the hood" improvements over its predecessor, the top-selling motorcycle GPS unit, the Garmin Zumo 550.

The Zumo series has made Garmin a dominating force in the market, owing largely to their special attention to the needs of bikers. Bluetooth connectivity allows users to receive spoken GPS directions directly through their headsets, keeping eyes on the scenery and the road. Large icons and an innovative, large-format keyboard on the touchscreen let riders type in destinations without removing gloves, which many riders admit saves valuable riding time. Worth noting as well is the inclusion of multiple mounting options for Zumo owners. The units will come packaged with a handlebar assembly and a suction cup mount for motorcycle and automobile use, respectively.

Garmin will also be including a DVD copy of the North American mapping software that comes preloaded on the Zumo 660. This will allow users to pre-plan their routes and upload them directly to their Zumo 660s. Owners will be able to choose the road systems they prefer and select stops along the way for sightseeing, fuel, lodging, and more from the comfort of their home computer. Additional mapping of most countries can be purchased on DVD or preloaded SD/MicroSD data cards so the Zumo 660s can ride along side their owners no matter where in the world they may travel.

The Zumos are universally recognized as the user-friendly, feature-rich motorcycle alternative to Garmin's incredibly successful Nuvi series, and the Zumo 660 will be a welcome addition to the lineup. Compatible with the recent nuMaps Lifetime map updates offered by Garmin, it is positioned to continue Garmin's market domination for years to come.

Express Mounts, GPS City To Offer New Vehicle Mount For Netbooks

2009-03-19T23:23:00.000-07:00

Express Mounts (www.expressmounts.com), a division of GPS CITY, is proud to announce a new style mount aimed specifically at users of netbooks. The introduction of the Tough Tray II is as a result of increased consumer demand for smaller, highly portable laptop computers, also known as netbooks.

The creation of the Tough Tray II mounting cradle will serve as the newest inter-vehicle mounting solution for this type of laptop. With the addition of a base and mount of the users' choosing, the new cradle will allow users to attach their netbook securely to their dash, window or at their side. In addition to fitting consumer oriented netbooks, it will also be compatible with 'tablets' -- customized touch screen laptops generally used by law enforcement.

Vice President of Operations Brenton Wingard foresees a strong demand for the Tough Tray II. 'In tough economic times, Netbooks are just what people need -- since they're so affordable, they'll become increasingly attractive to consumers. And because of their portability and range of applications, our mount will logically become a necessity.'

The innovation behind products like the netbook mount is what Wingard believes continues to drive the success of Express Mounts. 'Yes, we currently sell mounts for laptops, but this addition to our product line is representative of our ability to quickly and efficiently adapt our product base to meet consumer demand,' he says. He adds that should the highly anticipated -- but still speculative -- Apple version of a netbook be released, Express Mounts will 'be able to immediately provide a mounting solution for it' as well.

Express Mounts is one of the top mount suppliers in the US, providing direct sales and service to the consumer, industrial and government sectors. To date, the company has sold custom crafted mounts to the US State Department, the FBI, the United States Military and hundreds of local and state agencies. Their strong focus on customer-service has made them one of the most trusted and recognized mount providers in the US.

GPS CITY First to Offer Pre-Order on New Garmin Nuvi Lines

2009-03-01T23:11:00.000-08:00

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) March 7, 2009 -- GPS CITY, the 15 year GPS authority, is pleased to announce the availability of the Garmin Nuvi 1200 and 1300 series GPS units for pre-order. GPS CITY is currently the only vendor allowing consumers to pre-order the combined eight units from the two lines. The new GPS products, Nuvi1200, 1250, 1260T, 1300, 1350, 1350T, 1370T and 1390T will complement GPS CITY's already broad range of GPS products and accessories.

With special attention paid to size and portability, Garmin has created the 1200 and 1300 lines to accommodate not just drivers but, more specifically, on-foot travelers. Offering users a slimmer, even more advanced GPS, both lines are approximately 25% thinner than previous Garmin units. While significantly smaller, they feature some of the newest, most desired features in a GPS.

Among these new features are CityXplorer maps suited specifically for pedestrian navigation. This optional addition will allow users to navigate their way through subway, tram and bus routes without having to worry about reading often confusing paper route maps. Rounding out the new additions to the already loaded 1200 and 1300 GPS units are ecoRoute (a navigation accessory that directs users to the most fuel efficient routes) and a fully revamped digital user interface. Previously, ecoRoute was only available as a downloadable firmware update through Garmin's Web site.

Both units also feature the popular text-to-speech function previously found only in higher end, more expensive GPS.

The 1200 and 1300 series Garmin GPS start at $199 and are expected to dominate GPS sales for the foreseeable future. Accessories and mounts for the 1200 and 1300 series will also be available at www.gpscity.com.
