A link that most probably already know...but posting anyway

<http://www.gpsworld.com/>
This is for the magazine GPS World.

Has anybody ever read it or can anybody comment on its reliability? I am thinking about getting a subscription although quite pricy for international cultomers...

The Japan Times ( English edition ) also had a big write up on a car nav system (called Monet) although others were discussed and how much easier the motorist's life was made navigating in crowded Tokyo (with the added challenge that most streets don't have names...)

The unit retails for 250,000 yen (130 to the usd today) and Toyota expects that 20% of its vehicles will be sold with the unit by 2000 in Japan.
