MAXWELL SMART’S PHONE

This reminds us of something Max would use. Combining GPS with the latest wireless phone, the CHAPMAN PSC-D ($300 plus service) knows your exact location in any emergency — even if that emergency is simply needing a nearby place for dinner. Get roadside assistance, directions, and phone numbers, even contact the closest 911 operator instantly. Find more great gadgets at www.technogadgets.com.
