2 GB memory card carries full navigation functionality, detailed Tele Atlas maps of Europe and a huge store of traveler information

July 18, 2008 - Gent, Belgium - Sygic, a navigation software company and Tele Atlas, a leading global provider of digital maps and dynamic content for navigation and location-based solutions, have introduced McGuider, a remarkable memory card that converts PDAs and smartphones using Windows Mobile or Symbian systems into fully functioning navigation devices. Devices pre-equipped with a GPS receiver can instantly add the new functionality with little need for user intervention. For other devices, the addition of a Bluetooth-enabled GPS detector achieves the same. At a suggested retail price of €79, McGuider is an affordable and easy solution to carry a personal navigation device at all times.

The 2-GB SD card carries comprehensive maps of all western European countries, including Scandinavia, and substantial coverage of Eastern Europe. Maps of Russia and North America for those who travel further afield are also available. Added to this is simple, intuitive, touchscreen operation of a slick navigation capability, based on the latest Sygic software, with bright, clear graphics, fast refresh and detailed guidance including lane assistance and dynamic signpost indications.

Among its less usual features, McGuider alerts users crossing international borders and provides a quick briefing on the country they are entering, with valuable information such as speed limits, currency and time zone. McGuider navigation enhances the travel experience further with a huge range of POI information, reaching well beyond the conventional lists of hotels and restaurants to include amusements parks and beaches, mountain peaks and tourist information centers in close to 70 categories. These can be located nearby or near specified locations while map browsing. The selected point can be navigated to by car, bicycle or on foot. Voice guidance is provided in any of 20 languages.

McGuider comes with micro to mini and SD adapters and is available from the Tele Atlas Online Shop at http://navigation.teleatlas.com and from retailers throughout Europe. McGuider navigation can be purchased separately or bundled with compatible phones. Information, including a compatible phone list, and lively graphic demonstrations with intrepid adventurer John McGuider can be found at http://www.mcguider.com.
