CHICAGO, August 13, 2007- NAVIGON, a leading provider of navigation products and solutions, received the "Best Portable Device Application" award at Telematics Detroit 2007. As the largest telematics event in North America, this prestigious conference provides a forum for industry leaders to identify emerging trends and establish strategic relationships.

The elite judging panel selected NAVIGON's MobileNavigator (MN) software as an application that made a significant contribution to the advancement of the telematics industry. Manufacturers for some of the world's best-known consumer electronics brands choose MN for the high-quality and user-friendly experience it delivers, allowing the application to direct more navigation products than any other software in the global market.

"For more than a decade, NAVIGON has developed rich, intuitive, and easy to use software applications that redefine the navigation experience," said Andreas Hecht, general manager of the Americas for NAVIGON. "We plan to take this legacy to the next-level with the upcoming release of the sleek and sexy NAVIGON 5100 and 7100 portable navigation devices that look and feel like nothing else in the industry."

The design of the NAVIGON 5100 and 7100, coupled with the superior speed, performance, and exclusive functionality directed by a premium edition of MN, distinguish these products. First-ever functionality includes Lane Assistant, which guides drivers to the best lanes 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 real time traffic for the lifetime of the product and ZAGAT® reviews and ratings.
