HTC Touch Cruise

The new HTC Touch Cruise, an update to 2008’s HTC GPS device of the same name, sports a new, more compact design and new capabilities.

With HTC Footprints you have the ability to take notes and an audio clip of that favourite restaurant or special place while identifying its specific geographical location. In addition to identifying each postcard with its specific GPS co-ordinates, Footprints also auto-names each postcard with its general location or area.

When placed into its accompanying car cradle, the HTC Touch Cruise automatically kicks in its one-touch interface that provides seamless turn-by-turn directions for in car navagation.
