The new HTC Touch Cruise, an update to 2008’s popular HTC GPS device of the same name, is the first mobile phone to offer HTC Footprints which enables people to permanently chronicle their special moments by capturing a digital postcard on their phone. Once captured, Footprints provides the ability to take notes and an audio clip of that favourite restaurant or special place while identifying its specific geographical location. In addition to identifying each postcard with its specific GPS co-ordinates, Footprints also auto-names each postcard with its general location or area.

The HTC Touch Cruise is also an advanced in-car navigation system. When placed into its accompanying car cradle, the HTC Touch Cruise automatically transforms its user interface into an easy-to-use, one-touch interface that provides seamless turn-by-turn directions. The new HTC Touch Cruise will be available to customers across all major global markets in spring 2009.

You will have to backup your data first as the software update will erase all the data stored in the phone.
