NAVIGON announced a time saving, cost-saving GPS navigation solution for busy Americans. MobileNavigator enables precise door to door navigation anywhere in the country whether by car, bike or on foot. The new MobileNavigator|5 (MN|5) offers many features including real time traffic information TMC, speed limit warning and turn-by-turn voice guidance. Unlike other GPS software, MN|5 allows the user to drive cross country from Boston to San Francisco without ever having to stop and change a map.

MN|5 now offers real time traffic updates through NAVIGON's Traffic Service. The RDS-TMC enabled technology covers major metropolitan areas in the United States. TMC allows the user to receive up-to-the-minute traffic updates through radio signals 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In case of a congestion on the route, MN5 automatically provides an alternative route. Route changes can be accepted automatically or one by one confirmed by the user. The TMC service requires a traffic data subscription and a compatible TMC receiver, like the NAVIGON TriCeiver with TMC. NAVIGON also offers an all in one Personal Navigation Assistant (PNA) device with TMC included.



MN|5 continues to offer a variety of easy-to-use and useful functions including proximity POIs -. A feature that displays nearby points of interests such as ATMs, restaurants, hotels and mechanics within a for example one mile radius from the current position. There is no need to waste precious time and expensive gas searching for places to eat or to sleep. MN|5 also displays real highway overhead signs and street signs as they appear on the road. Speed limits and speed limit alerts are also included to acoustically and visually warn the driver on exceeding a speed limit.



"Consumers quickly understand the benefits of having a global positioning system in a mobile solution," said Edgar Christen, General Manager of NAVIGON Inc.. "

With the release of MN|5, NAVIGON is helping travelers to save time, gasoline and the frustration of sitting in traffic." MN|5 also offers a seamless coast to coast map of North America including Canada and maps of Mexico, Puerto Rico, Alaska, Hawaii. Also available are 27 European countries and six Persian Gulf states making Mobile Navigator a truly global personal travel assistant.

MN|5, unlike any other GPS navigation software, comes with the unique Full Fuzzy Logic Street Search feature enabling the user to easily find an address by only partially typing in a street address. Fuzzy Logic Street Search eliminates the experience of getting lost in the country due to vague or incomplete address.
