Nice of Blaupunkt to splice together a GPS navigation system with a video camera, plus traffic sign recognition, a DVB-T TV receiver, voice control, web-access via WLAN, hand-free phone calls, music via Bluetooth, speed-camera warnings, and an integrated Traffic Message Channel (TMC … must be a Europe-only thing), into one handy mashup. Here’s a simulated demo movie of the Blaupunkt TravelPilot 700 in action. $740.
Nice, but…
…there’s no lane departure warning system, collision avoidance, accident recording, black ice detection, radar detector, still photography with face recognition, hi-def video recording, iPod dock, or sharing of music with other TravelPilot vehicles! …guess we’ll just have to wait for v2.0!

Still, all in all a very impressive and desirable device.
It seems strange to have such detailed graphics on a GPS system given that most drivers will only be giving these devices a quick glance here and there.
