Navigon Unveils New Premium GPS Device


At the intersection of design and innovation, there's the NAVIGON 7200T

CHICAGO, August 26, 2008 - NAVIGON, one of the world's leading and fastest growing providers of navigation products and solutions, today unveiled its new, high-end NAVIGON 7200T.

A premium portable navigation device for those looking for both style and substance, the NAVIGON 7200T offers features no other GPS system has such as Reality View ProTM, Lane Assistant ProTM and Free Real-Time Traffic Updates for Life. It features a host of next generation features such as Voice Destination Entry, allowing drivers to specify their destination by simply speaking the address, and Landmark View 3D, which brings a new dimension to the map with hundreds of richly-textured 3D landmarks across the U.S. and Canada. The NAVIGON 7200T employs NAVIGON's next generation software, on average requiring fewer clicks than any other GPS product to enter a destination.

And navigation has never looked so good. Reflecting NAVIGON's award-winning DNA, the new
premium GPS is not only slim and portable, but also elegantly and uniquely designed with its
gorgeous Flat-Panel Touchscreen creating a sleek, frameless display. In a word, the NAVIGON
7200T is a stunner and sells for $449 (MSRP) in the U.S. and Canada. It hits stores shelves and
online retailers in October 2008. Customers can pre-order NAVIGON 7200T devices at Amazon.com.
