Welcome to the PocketGPSWorld.com GPS Newsletter.
This week sees the start of the largest Consumer Electronic show for the public. Held annually in Berlin, Germany it is the premium pre-xmas extravaganza for companies wishing to part you from your hard earned cash... Well it has always been pretty easy for them to do that to me!
The show has just about everything that can be run on electricity from Washing Machines to the latest in Electronic Gadgets. Darren and I will be trampling down the halls to bring you the latest news from the GPS, SatNav and Mobile companies.
This reminded me of this weeks Blast from the Past. Our first major trip to an International Expo was in 2004 when we visited CeBIT in Hannover. Then TomTom rocked the GPS world when they introduced the new TomTom GO. Click here to read our review of the original TomTom GO.

News: A-Z Maps Renew Partnership With PocketGPSWorld.com
In 1936, when the founder of A-Z, Phyllis Pearsall, delivered 250 copies of her London atlas in a wheelbarrow to newsagent WH Smith, no one quite knew how successful her project would be.
Phyllis's mapping 'project' involved walking and noting 3000 miles of 23,000 London streets, waking up at 5am everyday, and not going to bed until after an 18-hour working day.
Yes, maps were already for sale, but the best available was from Ordnance Survey and, at that time, 17 years old... and nowadays our forums are full of visitors complaining that the satnav map they just bought is 6 months out of date - how times change!
I've always loved maps and there is nothing I love more than opening up a brand spanking new road atlas. No torn pages, no earmarks, no broken spine, no coffee cup stains on the cover. Just new, clean shiny pages.
Such an object dropped on my doormat recently. It was the Britain Road Atlas 2009 Edition, courtesy of A to Z. For the sake of transparency, it is the first of many PocketGPSWorld.com partnership publications to launch this year and they've asked me to give it a critical eye and report back...
