A lot of GPS devices have come out recently. While most motorists look at them to get to places faster and economically, one thing that they tend to overlook is the eco-friendly ideals behind them. But with the Vexia Econav, targeting their latest product at the user who is conscious of their impact on the environment and saving money is certainly a GPS device worth considering.

The Vexia Econav range has the same aim as all other GPS gadgets – to get you to your desired destination. But the Econav aims to get your there as economically as possible. To that end it will calculate the best route to take based on the lowest amount of carbon you can produce getting there. You tell the device what type of car you have and what fuel it uses; then you specify how many passengers are traveling with you. You are then given the best route to take.

The Econav is expected to come to market across Europe in March. There will be two versions, the Econav 350 for $227 and the Econav 430 for $284. The main difference between the two units is the number of maps they are shipped with and the 430 has a slightly larger screen at 4.3″ compared to the 350’s 3.5″.
