Posted by Chris Leckness on 01/6/09 in Pharos
I was packing for CES last night and placed my extra/backup devices in a lovely slotted pouch that came with my original Pharos GPS, the one that was CF, serial, or Bluetooth. Wow. Time flys and Pharos is having fun it seems. Not too long ago, they announced two other phone/gps devices, the 117 and 127. Today they have announced the Pharos Traveler 137.
