A virtual destination guide

In Tech Plus today, we're featuring a device that would help one to reach his destination

Now wanderlust is something that afflicts many of us, and especially if one's a globe trotter with a bad sense of direction, then we might have a device for those people that would be just apt for all the wandering they'd do.

Yes, Hewlett Packard or HP has just launched a GPS device - that's Global Positioning System. The device is set to make the process of navigating one's way to his destination a lot simpler.

Sightseeing in Paris? Don't know which street to hit after the Eiffel Tower? Carrying one of these could help - the HP iPAQ 312 Travel Companion (a portable GPS device), meant for the tech savvy people and for those, who want something more than a paper map in their pocket.

In other words, the HP iPAQ 312 Travel Companion, is a modern day navigation tool with a touch-screen interface, 3D maps, access to the net, bluetooth and entertainment. Priced at over Rs 16,000, the gadget is a no mean bargain.

PDAs have become a household name now but the Travel Companion, is all set to launch itself in the new must-have lists of all gizmo freaks. The Travel Companion will hit store shelves in India in the next ten days.
