Takara announces the GP40 Portable Navigation Device recently. This GPS sports a 4-inch colors LCD display, Bluetooth handsfree kit, and SiRF Star III GPS chipset. I rather confused with the French translation and it seems (CMIIW) that this device features a blinking illuminated light to guide the users. When a blue light twinkle, it means there’s a change of direction on up 100 metres ahead, while the red light indicates the exact moment where direction should be changed. To get more detail information about the traffic, users can opt-in for RDS / TMC receiver module that delivers premium traffic information on paying motorways, large cities, and also expressways.

Takara’s GP40 GPS is currently available for 649 EUR.
