NAVIGON Launches 2120 Max GPS Navigator at Top Canadian Retailers

New NAVIGON 2120 max now available at Future Shop, The Source by Circuit City and Staples Business Depot


CHICAGO, June 16, 2008 - NAVIGON today announced the retail availability of the NAVIGON 2120 max personal navigation device (PND) at three top Canadian consumer electronics retailers. NAVIGON has already had products on shelf at Future Shop and The Source by Circuit City, but extended its distribution for the 2120 max through a new relationship with Staples Business Depot.

"The expanded distribution of the 2120 max further strengthens NAVIGON's market position in Canada," said Mark Silverio, NAVIGON's vice president, sales & marketing.

The 2120 max is an exceptional guide for the road with top-of-the-line features typically reserved for high-end devices such as a 4.3 inch widescreen and spoken driving directions via text-to-speech. New is NAVIGON's DirectHelpSM, a feature that pinpoints a user's location and provides instant links to nearby services such as hospitals, pharmacies and roadside assistance. The 2120 max also comes with the exclusive features that set NAVIGON apart in the GPS industry like Reality ViewTM, which provides photo-realistic, 3D images of complex highway interchanges, as well as Lane Assistant, which assists drivers in making the correct lane choice for upcoming turns and off ramps.

The GPS navigator features a slim, stylish piano-black casing, easy-to-read 2D and 3D map views and a user-friendly interface that provides an unmatched level of detail and information, including branded points of interest.

Key features include:

  • DirectHelpSM: provides instant access to directions and phone numbers of emergency services at the touch of a button. Finds the nearest hospital, police station, tow truck company or pharmacy, and indicates your exact location to help these services locate you.
  • Reality ViewTM: exclusive and available only on NAVIGON devices, Reality View provides 3D, photo-realistic virtual reality views of complex interchanges, complete with road geometry and actual road sign text.
