If you are a Palm Treo Smartphone user or a GPS enthusiast, Palm has a new gadget for you.

The TomTom NAVIGATOR 6 software, together with Treo Smartphones, makes the new Palm GPS Navigator Smartphone. Drivers using the new GPS Navigator with their Treo Smartphones can rely on voice-guided, turn-by-turn directions to easily find their destinations as well as millions of points of interest, including gas stations, restaurants, parks, airports and more. TomTom NAVIGATOR 6 is available today exclusively for Palm’s GPS Navigator Smartphone Edition.

With a sleek design and easier-to-see LED lights, Palm’s new Bluetooth enabled SiRFstarIII GPS receiver manages to easily integrate with Palm Treo 650, Treo 700w and Treo 700p Smartphones. The GPS Smartphones are also very easy to use. Travelers simply pop the 1GB memory card preloaded with maps into their Treo Smartphone and pair the GPS receiver to access highway and street-level maps covering the United States and Canada.

“Smartphones are expanding the market for mobile navigation,” said Jim Schwabe, general manager of accessories for Palm, Inc. “The beauty is that this powerful GPS solution is always readily available because it’s part of something people are carrying anyway — their Treo smartphone.”

“The convergence of portable navigation devices is growing in the United States,” said Jocelyn Vigreux, president of TomTom. “Palm’s bundle offering with TomTom’s new NAVIGATOR 6 software reflects our joint efforts to continue providing customers with essential smartphone solutions. The Treo smartphone series provides an ideal platform for portable navigation.”

The whole system functioning is easy to explain. The Bluetooth technology-enabled receiver identifies the car’s position using satellites. By communicating with the GPS receiver via Bluetooth, the Treo Smartphone obtains real-time location information and displays 3-D maps on the display. After a destination has been programmed, TomTom NAVIGATOR gives voice-guided, turn-by-turn instructions in one of more than 30 available voices. It will also automatically recalculate a route after a wrong turn, avoid roadblocks or circumvent traffic congestion.

At an estimated U.S. street price of $299, Palm’s GPS Navigator Smartphone Edition includes a Bluetooth enabled SiRFstarIII GPS receiver, TomTom Navigator 6 software, a 1GB memory card with preloaded maps of the continental United States and Canada, a vehicle device cradle with windshield mount and a charging system.
