This is the GPS receiver that provides real-time traffic and weather information using Traffic Message Channel technology.

It has 2GB of flash memory that contains extensive driving maps for the United States (including Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico) and Canadas provinces (including the Yukon Territory), with thousands of restaurants, gas stations, hotels, and more. It has an SD card slot for MP3 storage, its built-in FM transmitter allows you to play music through your car's radio as well as hear the direction prompts while driving. Maps appear in top-down 2D or three-quarter 3D mode. The bright and wide 4 1/4" LCD touchscreen provides 480 x 272 resolution, and automatically adjusts its brightness based on current lighting conditions. The unit can be powered by a car cigarette lighter, or for portability, via its built-in rechargeable battery that provides five hours of operation. Includes one year of traffic information service; $59.95 annual service charge applies thereafter. 3 1/2" H x 4 1/2" W x 1" D. (7 3/4 oz.)

The Fold-Away 39 Exercise Gym.

The Fold-Away 39 Exercise Gym.

Providing the full benefits of a complete weight set, yet weighing only 45 lbs., this exercise gym easily folds to store under a bed or in a closet.

(includes five illustrated program cards with instructions for performing 39 exercises and 10 targeted workouts.) The trainer's 2" tubular steel frame folds to 42" L x 28" W x 8" D to slip under a bed or store in a closet.

The E-Mail Voice Recorder.

The E-Mail Voice Recorder.

This is the patented digital recorder that allows you to compose e-mail messages using only your voice. Fast and convenient, and especially useful for those who cannot see well or type efficiently, the microphone plugs into a USB port on your computer (PC or Mac) and is easy to operate: simply press the record button on its base, compose your message, and press the button again, a link to your recording is stored in your e-mail message (your recording is stored on the manufacturer's website); when your recipient opens your e-mail message. A one-minute message creates a 65 KB message-well beneath your e-mail provider's message size limit. The included multimedia address book software allows you to match pictures or sounds to your recipients, requiring you to only use the buttons on the microphone base for selection.
