There are plenty of GPS solutions for iPhone owners, and now iPod Touch owners have one, as well. Dual Electronics, better known for its car stereos, just announced the GPS Navigation & Battery Cradle for iPod Touch (model XGPS300). The cradle provides the GPS reception that the iPod Touch lacks, while a free app downloadable from the iTunes Store provides the interface.

The cradle lists for $179.99, which is steep–but it works away from the car, as well, so you can use it while walking or biking. The cradle includes a rechargeable battery, so it won’t drain your iPod Touch. The package also comes with a cigarette lighter charging cable to keep your iPod Touch powered up while driving. The software pronounces street names and the NavAtlas maps are colorful and easy to follow. Look for it to go on sale in late November.
