Globalsat GV-201 GPS Introduced | GPS Lodge.com

Globalsat also introduced their GV-201 all in one GPS navigation device at CES. The Globalsat GV-201 is a GPS receiver with built in MP3 and MP4 playback. The convergence of music and GPS navigation has definitely taken hold as this is one of many units to have the playback features for music, but one of only a few at this point to offer video playback. It also displays pictures.



The Globalsat GV-201 has a hands free Bluetooth feature that will allow you to use your mobile phone through the GPS speaker. The 4 inch touch screen should be large enough for most applications, and puts in competition with other mid-tier products. It's unclear at this point if the unit comes pre-loaded with maps or if you need to download them onto SD cards and use the SD card slot in the unit.
