Garmin Nuvi 2×5 Series: Adds traffic to the 200 series

The fact that GPS is becoming more and more ubiquitous in cell phones does not seem to hinder companies like Garmin from churning out navigation units by the dozen. After all, there is a big chasm of difference between navigating on your cell phone versus a full-fledged GPS device, which not even the NuviFone can bridge. Fresh off the block from Garmin are four new units in their 200 lineup, the “2×5″ series, to be specific. Along with MSN Direct for traffic info, these four devices now sport the “HotFix” feature, similar to TomTom’s offering of QuickFix, enabling faster satellite signal acquisition.
