Posted by Jenny Lewis Categories: Accessories, CES, CES 2008, Google, GPS, Wireless / WiFi

Magellan has premiered their newest GPS unit for autos, the 5340+GPRS, the first GPS unit with Google Local Search.  Users can search their area for events, businesses and services, receiving real-time results from Google based upon the user’s current location or a specified location.

The wireless GPRS service also enables the unit to deliver up-to-the-minute information on traffic and weather.  Additionally, users planning trips in advance can send addresses or other information directly to the unit using the wireless service.  In case a change to an itinerary is needed while the trip is in progress, third parties can send changes to the unit using the Magellan website.

Like the rest of the recently-introduced Elite line, the 5340+GPRS features voice command, a USB port and 6 million points of interest.  It also features a 533 MHZ S-Media 3362 processor and and a 5-inch WQVGA widescreen.  The Maestro 5340+GPRS will be available for puchase in March for and estimated $1299. Full press release available, after the break.
