Let's take a closer look at an evolution in GPS.<!--more-->

GlobalTop Technology's Head-Up Display, the HG-100 is one of the more innovative GPS products currently on the market, combining a Bluetooth GPS receiver with speed alerts, speed readouts and direction that projects onto your windscreen. If you are an Aviation buff like I am, the deal is almost sealed with just those pieces of information. But wait it gets better. The unit also works with the navigation software on your Smartphone or PDA

Other cool features include a standalone mode ( GPS receiver) and"over speed" alert-you can preset a speed and it will alert you once it is exceeded. You also have the option to switch off the projection function while the unit still acts as a Bluetooth GPS receiver (assuming the unit is plugged into your cigarette lighter).

Apparently, GlobalTop, also known as G.Top has been making GPS technology for a while. This means that there is a level of reliability that can be associated with this product.
