Becker, recently upgraded their older GPS, the GPS Z101, which was announced back in May and the upgraded version will be called the Becker Z100, which is also known as Crocodile. If you take a look at the picture above, you will see the that casing looks a bit odd and sort of resembles the skin of a crocodile, hence the name.

Moving onto the specs, it comes with a 4.3-inch touch screen display, Navteq maps which cover 40 countries in Europe, the maps are stored on a 2GB SD memory card, live traffic updates via RDS/TMC Premium. The Z100 runs on a SiRF Star III GPS receiver and uses SiRF InstantFix II. This piece of technology gets faster satellite readings, meaning maps will load faster and more accurately. Navigon also provides for the navigation software as well as 3D RealityView, which means advanced guidance. It even can show upcoming turns that are located in a special part of the overall screen.

It looks to be a good GPS, however, there is no word on pricing or availability at this time.
