Apparently Garmin is about to release a new giant sized GPS navigation system called nuvi 5000 featuring a 5.2″ screen and lost battery. Nuvi 5000 will have an expected retail price of $857 and will have new features such as the video in port for backup cameras, ability to create favorites in a browser and transfer to device via

Nuvi 5000 will have an SD card slot, dual speakers, and auto-dimming back light… (more…)
