Is it easier to use a GPS or call a friend when it comes to getting directions? With the new Garmin ‘Nuvifone’ GPS it doesn’t matter. The Nuvifone allows you to get GPS directions as well as make calls, send text and instant messages, take pictures, and search online for information such as local restaurants and gas prices. The idea to integrate cell phone technology with a GPS system has been in the works for a while, and Garmin is one of the first to debut their conception. This new device is pending release in the fall of 2008, along with several other manufacturers hoping to release similar products.
