NAVIGON Launches NAVIGON 2000S GPS Navigator

Delivering an unmatched experience that goes beyond the basics, the NAVIGON 2000S becomes the benchmark to beat in its class

Chicago, Illinois, September 15, 2008 - NAVIGON, one of the world's leading and fastest
growing providers of navigation products and solutions, today announced the NAVIGON 2000S
GPS Navigator. Designed to provide a robust, easy-to-use navigation experience at a competitive
price, the NAVIGON 2000S goes beyond the basics with key advanced features not offered by
competing products in its class. NAVIGON's trademark Reality View ProTM, Lane Assistant ProTM,
and advanced text-to-speech are among the product's most innovative features designed to
enhance the navigation experience.

Ultra-thin and portable, the 3.5" NAVIGON 2000S is powered by NAVIGON's next generation
software which supports incredibly fast route calculation times and very simple destination entry,
on average requiring fewer clicks than any other GPS product to enter a destination. The
NAVIGON 2000S goes far beyond a typical entry-level device by delivering many advanced and
exclusive features that define the NAVIGON experience. It sells for $199 (MSRP) in the U.S. and
hits store shelves and online retailers in October 2008.

"With the 2000S, our goal was to bring NAVIGON's trademark features to a new, accessible level,"
said Andreas Hecht, NAVIGON's President for the Americas. "The 2000S delivers an experience
consumers have grown to expect from NAVIGON products with meaningful features, stylish design
and performance that are unmatched in its class."
