Nearly 11 months ago to the day, Europe witnessed its very first HD DVD release, and while the battle over format supremacy has been heated and rarely slanted to one corner here in the US, apparently things are vastly different across the pond.

Those who like their GPS devices totally indistinct from any number of other units on the market now have yet another option to consider, this one coming from the folks at Netropa. While there’s certainly nothing extraordinary here, the company’s new IntelliNav 3 unit does appear to provide all the basics, including a 3.5-inch touch screen, 6 million points of interest, 3D and 2D map views, and MP3 and photo support, with maps of the US, Canada, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands coming pre-loaded on the included 2GB SD card. No word on pricing or availability just yet though, so you’ll somehow have to contain your anticipation for a little while longer.
