Welcome to the 'kosher' GPS device

It lists thousands of kosher restaurants and includes the Book of Psalms, the three daily prayer services, the Traveler's Prayer, a Hebrew calendar, and two versions of Grace After Meals.
The state-of the art electronic gadget geared to the religious public will be unveiled Thursday morning at a Tel Aviv press conference in the office of the city's Chief Rabbi Yisrael Meir Lau, who will 'give his blessings' to the device.
The device, which was developed over the last year by Mio Technology, will also list thousands of other points of interest in Israel, including holy sites, synagogues, cemeteries, and ritual baths.
In keeping with the strictest religious sensitivities, the device, aptly dubbed Mio Ma'amin, will use only a man's voice and does not have telephone functions or allow Internet access.
Some of the device's attractions will only be available in either Hebrew or English, while the blessings and prayers are currently only in Hebrew.

Bueno, el aparatito se llama Ma’amin, que significa 'creyente'.
¡Espléndido!
