Google search is finally making its way into GPS units with the latest from Insignia. The two units are going to boost built-in cell phone modems that will power the Google search and ‘cording to a Best Buy spokeswomen, there will be no fees for the first year. (Sounds like Dash) The Google access will allow owners to locate places with the power of Google and even forward route info from their PCs to the GPS units. The NS-CNV20 is going to sell for $499 and have a 4.3-inch touchscreen while the 3.5-inch NS-CNV10 will carry a $399 price. Interested? Both models should launch on October 19.

  • Although this is a relevant application of search technology.
    I think when our children are in business school, they will be studying how Google took it’s eye off their core competency and became an irrelevant forgotten innovator.

    They are SO ready to be moved out of the top stop.

    Trying to move in way too many directions. Be everything to everyone.

  • and how much will it cost after the free year?

  • I have been Beta Testing this GPS for the past 4 months and have to say that the technology is very cool. The ability to Google search a location is fantastic. If I’m in another city and am looking for somewhere to eat all I have to do is choose the dining search and it will tell me what is available and how to get there. I recommend you consider this GPS when you do your research.
