Garmin Adds Camera to GPS
Next time you are giving the finger so liberally on the highway, smile -- you might be on candid camera.
Garmin just announced that two of its new GPS units will come equipped with camera features. The Oregon 550 and Oregon 550t each boast a waterproof 3.2-megapixel camera with 4x digital zoom, as well as a 3-inch touchscreen, 850MB of internal storage, a 3-axis compass, and two precharged AA NiMH batteries.
The idea behind the camera is so that you can tag photos with locations, as if you need something else to fumble with while you're driving. If you're the multitasking type, the 550 will run $500. The 550t comes with preloaded topography maps for $600. -- Rachel Cericola
