Transplant GPS, Inc. today announced the launch of the  RightWay 550 GPS Navigator (RW 550), the latest addition to the  Rightway GPS Navigator family.  The RW 550 combines exceptional hardware and software with the ability to update maps on-line to create an amazing user experience.

The new RightWay 550 utilizes the latest technology to create a powerful and reliable navigation device.  With the SiRF Atlas IV chipset and double the RAM of the previous generation, the RW 550 provides even more accurate positional information, faster response times, and an increasingly responsive user interface.

Like all RightWay products, the RW 550 has the right features at the right price.  With a MSRP of  $119, the RightWay 550 GPS Navigator features:

- Clear Turn and Lane Assist for navigating complex interchanges on major interstates

With a redesigned user interface and intuitive menus, navigating from place to place anywhere in the United States has never been easier. 

Unlike other GPS units, the RightWay 550 GPS Navigator has the ability to update maps on-line by connecting the unit to a PC using the mini USB cable provided.  Through this configuration, the user is able to download maps and map updates from ALK Technologies, Inc.'s MapSureTM map update service.

The MapSureTM map update service provides automatic map updates at regular intervals throughout the year so users can always have the most accurate and up-to-date street level maps of the United States and Canada.  The MapSureTM map update service offers:

- The latest full map of North America road network available quarterly
