Looks like the decision to hold onto the original iPhone has finally paid off. OrangeGadgets has just announced that they will be releasing a GPS device, the iGPS360 iPhone/iPod Touch Module.
This device will give GPS functionality to those who have gone without for so long. The iGPS360 will plug into the bottom of your iPhone 2G/iPod Touch making it a bit longer than most would like. The drawback is that your iPhone or iPod Touch must first be jailbroken in order for this to work because Apple has not given the OK for any device to access the OS though the dock connecter.
The device has an on-board back-up battery that will store GPS information allowing for a quick GPS lock-on after the device itself has been switched off. You can also charge both your iPhone/iPod Touch and the GPS device at the same time through a micro USB cable that comes with the GPS device. You can pre-order the iGPS360 right now but act quick, by the looks of things they will only manufacture 1000 units.

iPhone 2G? I think you mean iPhone 3G. You’re an iPhone website, get it right…
Anon. This device is intended for the iPhone 2G/iPod Touch. The 3G already has GPS, so the use of this module would be pointless on the new phone.
Where can I find to buy iGPS360?
thanks.
Anon, understand what you read before you speak.
Does anyone FUCKING know if it works with ipod touch generation 2
Hey fuck101..? Quit being such a FUCKING noob, you stupid bitch
This was funny to read:)
It’s hard to believe that anon and fuck101 exist on this earth. If you do not know how to read, don’t f-ing post, go to the hooked on phonics site, and stop wasting everyone’s time, then go home and slap the shit out of your mothers.
It works with ipod touch 1g and 2g. You can buy that at orange gadgets. It works great to me. I would rate it as 4.5 of 5 stars.
I know this may sound like a stupid question (as surely all GPS is global) and I’m probably too late to recieve a relevant reply but I was wondering if the iGPS360 and xGPS work in the UK?
Thanks for any help you can give,
