One of the coolest features I’ve seen on a GPS yet — location based gaming. The new Garmin Gecko ($250) includes five different games that are played by moving around virtual obstacles. The user plays by moving around in real space while watching the GPS screen for information. The games include a version of Snake in which the user walks around picking up numbers while trying to avoid his or her virtual tail, and a virtual maze where the user must navigate invisible walls to get prizes (pictured, left). Up next — wireless networked location based gaming?
