Our sources tell us that a new web and mobile search service by the name of Whatsopen is about to launch. The site’s developers say that they have around 1 lakh beta users already who are currently evaluating the various features of the service. The service’s open beta is set to launch before the end of this year and promises to be quite a high profile launch.

Some of the innovative features promised by the site include location based searches according to the timings , users can generate location information and the fact that you can use your mobile’s GPS with this site. The site claims that using your GPS location it will be able to tell you about places that you seek which are near you and open.

The features promised look great, but lets wait for the launch to see if they can compete with the likes of Yahoo and Google who seem to be the giants in this field.

On road navigation is a great advantage to have while on road. New satellite systems from Garvin such as the new Nuvi 660 offer convenience of not having to know the way alongwith value for money. The Nuvi currently does not come preloaded with Indian maps, but with maps from USA, Canada and Puerto Rico. The device offers clear and crisp voice instructions to you when you are navigating on the road.

But these days GPS receivers are not only GPS receivers. This baby comes with a MP3 player so that you can listen to your favourite songs while driving. Also included is an inbuilt JPEG photo player , so that you can reflect on your memories while driving through the traffic. The set is highly recommended for those looking for a GPS navigation solution. It can help you find routes with parameters such as Shortest Time, Shortest Distance, Least/Most Use of Highways, Avoid Toll Payment.
