Navman has announced the expansion of its consumer electronics and automotive personal navigation product line. The new Navman iCN 320 is a pocket-sized guidance system designed to offer truly usable guidance technology to the masses, providing users with a wealth of exciting new convenience and performance features for effective navigation.

The Navman device is ready to use out of the box, easy to operate, stylish and the most affordable all-in-one solution on the market.

Equipped with a high-resolution, daylight-viewable display, rechargeable internal battery, and preloaded with detailed street mapping data for the U.S. (American version) and Canada (Canadian version), the iCN 320 eliminates the complexities of competitive systems and provides drivers with the vital information they require to navigate.

A high-quality speaker delivers clear turn-by-turn voice instructions for reliable route guidance; large next- maneuver arrows alert the driver to the approach and direction of upcoming turns; a real-time progress bar and distance-to-turn information ensure users take action at the appropriate time; detailed junction maps help drivers make visible associations with their actual surroundings; and user-selectable data such as ETA, speed, current time, time-to-go and total distance can be accessed with the touch of a button.

Powered by Navman's latest navigation software, SmartST 2005, other advanced features of the iCN 320 include enhanced routing algorithms that ensure users travel the most intuitive course; improved speed and accuracy for town, zip code, street, intersection and house number searches; and an extensive Points-of-Interest (POI) database with nearest POI search capability. The iCN 320 requires no set-up and is ready to navigate right out of the box.

"With the recent growth in the portable navigation device market, manufacturers have been rushing to introduce products that are packed with extra features like MP3 players, entertainment centers and communications functionality," said Chris Jensen, vice president and general manager of Navman USA.

"While technological convergence is at times appropriate, it is important not to lose sight of the basic reason for having a navigation system. Simply put, the new Navman iCN 320 includes all of the necessary features for high-powered route planning and guidance in a compact, affordable package; not to mention, it's the most powerful, customizable, dependable, and easy to use solution available."

The Navman iCN 320 features an ultra-bright display screen, employs a reliable, integrated flip-up, high-performance GPS antenna, and houses an internal Lithium-Ion battery for operating the unit without external power. Tele Atlas map data for North America is supplied on a single MMC memory card. The iCN 320 comes with a vehicle mounting bracket and 12v car power supply.

Navman's iCN 320 is currently available at electronics stores nationwide and competitively priced at U.S. $499.95. For more information on the iCN 320, Navman and its entire GPS product line, contact 866-9NAVMAN (toll-free).
