Hasta La Gadget!

Remember that Mio Knight Rider GPS from last year? The one that featured the real voice of KITT and that attracted a lot attention before completely disappearing due to lack of interest? Well, Mio is back with a more timely tie-in: a Lost-branded navigator.

The Mio Lost will offer a 4.3-inch screen, a 10 million points-of-interest database, voice commands, and Bluetooth connectivity. It’s the Lost special features, though, that will attract the most attention. For starters, you can have your favorite character read your directions (as long as your favorite character is either Jack, Kate, Sawyer, or Locke). Can’t believe they didn’t include Ben.

After that, the Lost GPS seems mostly targeted to super-fans. Enter a certain string of mysterious numbers (4, 8, 15, 16, 23, and 42) into the map coordinates section to open the time travel mode, where the screen will occasionally flash white while navigating and then guide you to an entirely different destination. Apparently the name is accurate: this is one GPS that can truly get you lost.
