LAKE FOREST, Ill., Sept. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Navman, a leading designer
and manufacturer of world-class Global Positioning System (GPS),
communication and marine products, announced today a new generation of
portable, in-vehicle navigation devices, the N40i and N60i. Designed with
the latest in GPS technology, an enhanced user interface and a sleek new
form factor, the two N-Series devices leverage Navman's innovative
image-based navigation technology. NavPix(TM) lets you identify
destinations as pictures, rather than just names, letting you define your
world as you see it. With NavPix and a new Navman N-Series navigator, users
simply select a picture, touch and drive.
Featuring a new slim line design for enhanced style and added
convenience, the Navman N-Series navigators are the most portable devices
on the market. Both models feature the second-generation SiRFstarIII
chipset for rapid satellite acquisition, as well as an anti-glare
touchscreen. Offering two levels of features and functionality, the N40i
and N60i are a perfect fit for anyone who travels.
NavPix
The new N40i and N60i harness the power of Navman's NavPix technology.
Premium NavPix photos can be accessed at http://www.navpix.net and
downloaded free of charge to the navigation devices. Once images are added
to a Navman N-series device, users simply touch an image on the screen to
be directed to their desired location. In addition to downloading NavPix
photos, both the N40i and N60i also contain an integrated 1.3 megapixel
camera, allowing users to easily compile their own NavPix library. With the
push of a button, digital images, coded with the exact latitude and
longitude of the location, are added to the device. NavPix images loaded on
either N-Series device can be edited with labels and additional destination
information. Users can also upload their custom, geo-stamped photos to the
Navman website to share with other NavPix users around the world.
Navman N40i
Providing clear turn-by-turn voice guidance along with detailed street
maps displayed on a 3.5-inch color screen, the N40i is a serious navigator.
In addition to NavPix, destinations can be entered manually by entering the
street address, intersection, zip code or by selecting from the extensive
list of Points Of Interest (POIs). With preloaded Tele Atlas map data for
all of North America, convenient dedicated buttons to locate nearest gas
stations and parking facilities, and exclusive Back on Track(TM)
technology, the N40i is the key to a simple and stress-free journey.
Navman N60i
The ultimate GPS tool and flagship Navman device, the N60i contains all
of the features of the N40i along with some luxurious additions. A unique
4.3-inch widescreen display allows users to view an unparalleled lay of the
land while en route. The photo library can be displayed as thumbnails or in
bold full-screen mode to make browsing and selecting destinations a snap.
Navman's new navigation software maximizes the widescreen format, and
enhances the user-friendly touchscreen with shortcuts and soft keys for
quick, convenient access to navigation functions. The N60i also comes with
a handy IR remote for complete control of the device from anywhere in the
vehicle.
Each Navman N-Series device comes complete with a vehicle mounting
bracket, vehicle power adapter, AC power adapter, USB cable and deluxe
padded carrying case.
