If you're ever packing your DS Lite and end up lost in the jungle/emerging from a crashed plane in the Andes, you'll be thankful if you bothered to purchase the "Ranger".

This unofficial Chinese...dongle, I guess we'll call it, brings a full suite of global positioning capabilities to the handheld, featuring Google Maps support in both 2D and 3D.

While this fancy new tech seems best-suited for the fancy new DSi, ironically it will only work on the older models of the DS, as it requires the use of the GBA cartridge slot.
