[CES 2008] Don’t you find it annoying when you plan a trip on your computer, soon after when you get into the car, you have to re-enter the address again? It’s even worse it you have decided to take a specific route, that’s not the one chosen by your GPS. The service works only with the iPAQ family of GPS.

HP noticed too and it has created iPAQ navigate, a web service that lets you plan your trip, thereupon upload it to your GPS via USB. The

site additionally has a small social component – it lets you share your trips with friends and family.

At the moment, the weak point lies in the wired USB connection, as most citizens leave their GPS in the car. But still, the view is good and in the future, one could imagine that WiFi, Wireless USB or even a cellular connection (a la Dash Express) will manufacture the experience seamless.
