TrackingTheWorld's newest portable real-time GPS tracking device is the WorldTracker Enduro Pro. An update to one of last year's best trackers, the Enduro, Enduro Pro offers improved GPS sensitivity, and up to 60 day battery life.
Throughout our testing, Enduro Pro's performance was outstanding. The device provided reliable real-time tracking, even in challenging environments, and in areas of marginal cellular coverage.

A budget-friendly 4.3-inch widescreen GPS that offers many of the same features found on the Garmin's more expensive devices. Equipped with trafficTrends and myTrends, ecoRoute, text-to-speech, lane guidance, the 2350 LMT also includes free lifetime map updates and realtime traffic service. Menus are intuitive and the map is easy to read. No bluetooth, and the screen isn't as high resolution as the more expensive nuvi 3700 series, but it's hard to quibble at this price.
OnStar Telematics, a division of General Motors, is currently installed in over 6 million GM vehicles, and offers drivers a variety of connected services, including turn-by-turn navigation, automatic crash response, stolen vehicle location, and more.
Until now, the only way to get OnStar services was to buy a GM vehicle. Well, no more. OnStar unveiled a $299 standalone mirror at the Consumer Electronics Show last week that will bring OnStar's connected services to any vehicle.
Since the mirror is powered, and has integrated Bluetooth for hands-free calling, you'll need to have the mirror professionally installed. Installation is estimated to cost around $75, and subscription to OnStar's services will cost $18.95 per month, or $199 / year.
OnStar's mirror will be available exclusively at Best Buy in the Spring 2011.

Garmin just announced the GTU 10, Garmin's first real-time GPS tracking device.
According to reps here at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, the GTU 10 will be available in the spring, will retail for $199.99, which will include a full year of service. After the first year you'll have to pay $49.95 a year to continue service.
The device itself measures 3”x1.3”x.8”, weighs just 1.7 oz, is waterproof, and includes a carry pouch and carabiner clip. Once activated, the device can be tracked via a web browser or smartphone, and you'll be able to access up to 7 days of historical tracking data. You'll be able to set Geofences, and the device will also integrate with Garmin's nuLink services so that nuLink enabled GPS navigators can automatically route to the GTU 10's location.
The GTU 10 will operate on AT&T's data network, and will be available for purchase in the Spring.
Here at GPSmagazine, I've done extensive testing of real-time GPS tracking devices, and publish an annual GPS Tracker Buyer's Guide. I expect to have a test unit from Garmin soon, and will be publishing the review as soon as possible. It'll be interesting to see how Garmin's device stacks up against the competition. Hopefully Garmin's entrance into this growing market will also signal a lowering average purchase price as GPS tracking devices become more common.
Garmin Finally Releases iPhone Navigation App
Well, as I predicted back in October when Garmin killed off the ill-fated nuvifone, the company has finally accepted the inevitable and released an iPhone version of its popular StreetPilot turn-by-turn navigation software.
I played around with it for a few minutes here at CES, and it looks like a faithful version of the company's standalone PNDs, complete with 3D junction view, real-time traffic, and other connected services like weather.
The StreetPilot App also integrates with your iTunes music library so you can access and control music while driving, as well as your address book. The maps are stored in the cloud, so you'll always be getting Garmin's most current maps.
The App is available now in the iTunes App store for $39.99. That includes lifetime map updates, and realtime traffic. Not bad.
Forget the crowds and long lines. Some of the best deals this year are online.
We've combed through the thousands of GPS models and deals, and assembled this collection of the best bargains.
