NAVIGON Wins "Best Hardware Product" Award at RetailVision Spring 2007

The NAVIGON 5100 and 7100 personal navigation devices redefine sleek and sexy with the top 100-level retailers and distributors

CHICAGO, May 22, 2007- A new series of GPS Navigator products by NAVIGON, a leading provider of navigation products and solutions, received the "Best Hardware Product" distinction at the "Best of RetailVision Awards" held during RetailVision Spring 2007. Retailers attend the global event to learn about and select new line-ups of consumer electronics products.

 

NAVIGON new personal navigation devices (PND)-including the NAVIGON 5100 and 7100-wowed buyers from the top 100-level retailers and distributors. For more than a decade, NAVIGON has built a reputation for delivering award-winning navigation software that directs some of the world's largest brands in consumer electronics. Receiving this distinction validates NAVIGON's corporate strategy to expand its capabilities by releasing a product portfolio with innovative design and functionality.

 

"We're excited about the feedback we received at the event-it validates our belief that our products are genuinely different from a preponderance of me-too products in the category," said Mark Silverio, NAVIGON's vice president for sales & channel marketing.

 

NAVIGON Brand GPS Navigators boast a host of exclusive stress-reducing features such as Lane Assistant, which guides drivers to the best lanes to be in relative to the route, and Reality View™, which provides a virtual reality of complex interchanges-with road geometry, actual road sign text, and 3D images conveying critical on the road information. Other category firsts include subscription-free traffic for the lifetime of the product and ZAGAT® reviews and ratings on the NAVIGON 5100 and 7100 elevates what consumers can expect from PNDs.

 

The NAVIGON 5100 and 7100 will be available Summer 2007. Additional information is available at www.navigonusa.com.
