Capoint Co’s new GPS the XRoad V4050 just finished getting an FCC approval and should be on American shelves pretty soon. Capoint Co has also sold a GPS in Europe called the Takara GP43, which had came out a few months ago.  The XRoad is basically the same as the Takara, so if you like the Takara, chances are you’ll like the XRoad.

The XRoad is a pretty basic GPS, sporting a 4.3-inch touch screen, SD card reader and a SiRF Star III GPS receiver. Additionally, it can play audio and video, it supports MP3, MPEG4 and JPG files. No word on the exact release nor cost, however, the Takara sold in Europe for 500 Euros, so the conversion of that is around $720.

At $720 its a little bit on the expensive side, so we can hope the XRoad will sell for less than that.
