Last month, we reported on Mercedes-Benz's new Search & Send feature, which allows you to pre-plan trips in Google Maps or Yahoo Maps and send them directly to your car's navigation system. Well, now a Spanish company called Blusens has made the next big step in GPS in-car navigation: satellite imagery. Its two new GPS units (dubbed G01 and G02) feature maps integrated with Google's satellite images. The G01 has a 4.3-inch touchscreen, a 30GB hard drive, and SD/MMC card support. The similar G02 has a 40GB hard drive and Bluetooth 2.0. The G01, which goes on sale in Europe this November for about $700. The G02 (left) arrives in early 2008. No word on whether they'll arrive in the States.
