GPS devices and services provider Pharos Science & Applications Inc. has rolled two new models for its Drive GPS line. The Pharos Drive GPS 250 and GPS 150 includes a SiRFStarIII GPS receiver and is compatible with most smartphones on the market today.

While it doesn't exactly have dual-purpose capabilities like other GPS devices, this specialized device does its job quite efficiently. James Chen, Senior Vice President of Pharos, commented on the two new models:

The Drive GPS line strikes the perfect balance of power, portability and price. In these new models, we’ve made our navigation software easier to use with features like text to speech, so our customers can keep their eyes on the road while navigating through busy traffic and tricky intersections.
