navigon.jpgNAVIGON a renowned name in mobile GPS navigation systems has just released the MobileNavigator 5 application suite for mobile phones. This software is pretty handy and gives users real time traffic information via a TMC receiver. Users can access real time traffic updates, speed limit warnings and also avail turn-by-turn voice guidance.Thus it has the ability to allow users to drive non stop without even loking at a map!

The application suite also has a traffic congestion avoidance function which is capable of seeking new routes if there’s a jam on one. However this feature requires a corresponding receiver, e.g. the NAVIGON Receiver and a subscription service too. It comes preloaded with maps of US, Canada Mexico, Puerto Rico, Alaska, and Hawaii. Optional maps of 27 European countries and six Persian Gulf states are also available. All the speed devils will appreciate the application’s ability to alert drivers to speed limits via acoustic and visual warnings. So kiss goodbye to all those future speed tickets.

NAVIGON's MobileNavigator 5 is also capable of displaying real highway signs as they appear on the road and come preloaded with points of interests like ATMs, restaurants, hotels etc.The Full Fuzzy Logic Street Search (catchy name) enables you to find any address by typing partially and the Voice Command feature loads saved information via personalized voice commands. The MN 5 is compatible with almost all GPS devices and Pocket PCs and Navigon also offers a portable device that features a built-in GPS/TMC receiver. Prices start at $79.9. http://www.navigonusa.com

"With the release of MN|Consumers Avoid Traffic with NAVIGON's MobileNavigator|5, NAVIGON is helping travellers to save time, gasoline and the frustration of sitting in traffic."
