For most consumers, a GPS device is not a tech gadget for geeks – it's a critical necessity of the commuter lifestyle and an everyday way to find your way around town. You might not know the meaning of the term "PND" (or even care), or that there's a difference between NAVTEQ and Tele Atlas data. You just want to avoid being late. To that end, the TeleNav Shotgun accomplishes the goal as an in-car navigation device, even if it can't quite measure up to the more powerful features found on competing Navigon and TomTom products. Unfortunately, the device does falls short though when it comes to some simple pathfinding activities.
