I’m not sure how worried you are about strangers fiddling with your sat-nav but, just in case you are, Medion’s latest GPS device comes with fingerprint security.
The new GoPal P4425 navigation system sits at the top of Medion’s P-range at £250 and, alongside the novel fingerprint reader and shiny black looks, it uses something called Touchless Technology. This allows you to operate the key software functions with voice commands, which the company claims will offer greater road safety. That, or more drivers shouting at their gadgets.
The device runs on Windows CE 5.0 and uses the Centrality Atlas III 396Mhz processor, has 512MB of integrated memory, an SD Card slot, integrated Bluetooth, MP3/video playback and a 4.3in touchscreen display. It comes with full UK and European street maps.
The new Active Cradle boasts an FM transmitter and in-built Traffic Message Channel (TMC) antenna port for receiving traffic and travel reports via RDS from TrafficMaster. It’s shipping now.-Martin Lynch

I think it's a great idea. I heard that someone got their sat nav stolen from their car whilst out shopping and the thieving bar stewards push Home and robbed his house knowing he was out!
THIS DEVICE IS ENTERTANING INDIA.
