Even though Mio said they\u2019d keep the brand going we think it is a matter of time until the Magellan name completely disappears.<\/p>\n<p><strong>HP <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.iranmap.com\/images\/gps\/hp-ipaq-310.jpg\" alt=\"HP ipaq\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>HP had a decent looking device called iPAQ 310 for a while but it turns out they\u2019ll be discontinuing their stand alone GPS navigation systems and a few others such as iPAQ 312, 314, 316, and 318.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dash <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.iranmap.com\/images\/gps\/dash_express_gps.jpg\" alt=\"dash GPS\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>These were the guys to first come out with a decent two way connected system. We really loved it. But they didn\u2019t last long. When they quit they promised they\u2019d keep their awesome user collected traffic information platform alive. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Harman\/Kardon <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.iranmap.com\/images\/gps\/harman-kardon-810.jpg\" alt=\"harman kardon GPS\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>Harman did come out with a few models that really looked promising such as the GPS-810. But due to continued price cutting they\u2019re out as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sony <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.iranmap.com\/images\/gps\/sony-nvu83t.jpg\" alt=\"sony GPS\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>Sony never really got traction in the PND market. They officially quit the European market. Even though SonyStyle for U.S. still offers the NVU series.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Panasonic <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.iranmap.com\/images\/gps\/panasonic-strada-gps.jpg\" alt=\"panasonic strada GPS\" \/>\n<\/p>\n<p>Panasonic is also out but only for standalone GPS navigation systems like the Strada CN-GP50N, and CN-GP50U. They\u2019re keeping their in-dash systems. <\/p>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GPS navigation system market is very dynamic and fast moving.
