P'9611(TM) Compromises Nothing with Subscription FREE Traffic and Sleek
Design
LAS VEGAS and CHICAGO, Jan. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- (CES Booth #6011) --
NAVIGON, Inc., the leading navigation software provider, today offered the
U.S. market a special sneak peek at the new P'9611 by Porsche Design Group,
a best-in-class portable navigation device for the discriminating consumer.
Designed as the ultimate luxury navigation product, the P'9611 packages the
intuitive, full-featured NAVIGON experience in a super-sleek, timeless form
factor
Subscription FREE traffic for the lifetime of the product from NAVIGON
-- the first company in the navigation category to make such an offer --
provides consumers with the ability to avoid traffic jams or obstacles
out-of-the-box without the tedious unlock or subscription process. Built-in
Traffic Message Channel (TMC) functionality automatically supplies the
driver with alternative routes, and coupled with NAVIGON's revolutionary
lane assistant, offers seamless navigation guidance through complicated
junctures. On multi-lane roads, NAVIGON software displays the path a driver
must follow to maintain a projected route.
Under the hood of the P'9611 is NAVIGON's new MobileNavigator (MN)
Premium(TM) software, which reinvigorates the navigation user experience
with a robust list of smart, intuitive category-leading features such as
superior text-to-speech capabilities, "street first" or "city first"
destination entry, and predictive spelling support. Additional software
features include actual sign text, speed warnings, and automatic increases
in navigation message volume to compensate for driving noise.
The P'9611 includes the most comprehensive point of interest (POI)
listings available for personal navigation devices (PND) through a
strategic NAVIGON partnership with Zagat Survey. As the first PND to
feature this functionality, drivers now have immediate access to five
destination guides, including Zagat Survey's Top U.S. Hotels, Resorts and
Spas, America's Top Restaurants, America's Top Golf Courses, Attractions
and Nightlife in 70+ US Cities/Locales to make informed destination
choices. The millions of consumers worldwide who rely on Zagat Survey's
ratings and reviews now have immediate access to integrated content in
their turn-by-turn driving directions. This partnership enhances the
millions of POI listings, above and beyond lesser products, that are
standard within NAVIGON's MN software suite.
"We're thrilled to be a part of this product," said Andreas Hecht,
NAVIGON's General Manager for the Americas. "It's a beautiful realization
of design and innovation and represents the cutting-edge of navigation."
Other key features include a high-contrast 480 x 272 touch screen, 520
MHz Intel CPU, dual processor platform, graphics accelerator chip, 64 MB of
both RAM and ROM, high-sensitivity GPS receiver, hands-free Bluetooth
communications kits, high quality built-in speakers, and a windshield
cradle that is among the most thoughtfully designed in the category. The
P'9611 will be available in Summer 2007, and will sell for an MSRP of $899.
