This year, NAVIGON, an expert in the field of innovative navigation software, is due to also set its own trends in the world of devices for the first time. The NAVIGON 7100 will be launched in the summer of 2007. The new route planner stands out thanks to its elegant appearance designed by the Studio Phoenix Design - and has already won the international red dot design award "Best of the Best" as a result. At the same time, the classy black piano lacquer shell accommodates the most modern components available in the sector.

With "Reality View" and "Lane Assistant", the NAVIGON 7100 offers more than any other navigation system in the market - previously unknown clarity at confusing traffic intersections. Specifically, the intelligent co-pilot is capable of realistically displaying motorway junctions. Furthermore, the "Lane Assistant" helps users find their way and makes every trip more safe. An arrow on the 4.3 inch touch screen display indicates the right lane.  This feature is particularly useful whenever there are several turns to choose from.

With the free TMC, every traffic jam can be avoided effortlessly, and there are more than two million special destinations saved to the software. Thanks to an integrated hands-free headset via Bluetooth, nothing stands in the way of convenient and safe mobile communication.The PIN code feature ensures optimum theft protection. Every route can be calculated according to four different criteria - fast, short, optimum or exceptionally picturesque. Depending to the user's preference, it will then be displayed in either 2D, 3D or the practical map overview.

The heart of the clever scout is a 400 MHz processor. 64 MByte RAM and 256 MB ROM respectively guarantee that the route is calculated quickly. The exact location is ascertained by the modern SIRFStar III GPS receiver module. The 1200 mAh lithium-ion batteries supply the high-tech device with power over a period of four hours.

At a size of 92x130x23 millimetres and a weight of 195 grammes, the NAVIGON 7100 is a very handy navigation system which fits into almost every pocket. The version with map software on England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland costs £289.00. Identical in construction, the NAVIGON 7110 knows its way around Europe and is available at a price of £336.00.
