Most Up-To-Date Functions for Stress Free Navigation

Outfitted with TMC receivers and the TrafficMaster™, which stands ready to receive the latest, real-time traffic information, this system provides what is necessary for avoiding time-consuming traffic jams. The preinstalled Europe map information with route indications and text displays in 16 languages makes the system safe, comfortable, and precise. Maps can be displayed in either 2D or 3D, and the naming of cities, streets and functions like TMC-transmitted traffic information are made possible due to outstanding SVOX TTS technology. Several search functions, such as category, name, address or zip code, in addition to having the possibility of saving up to 30 destinations and the last 30 trips serve to further highlight the fantastic capabilities of the new navi device. The various possible routes can also be determined according to driver preference for the quickest, the shortest or the most economical route, which allows for the avoidance of highways, ferries and toll roads. Added to this are the basic route-finder tools, which display traffic, construction, and road information.

The sensitive SiRFstarIII GPS high-performance chip is responsible for the speed and accuracy of the navigation device. Despite its wealth of functions, this compact device is surprisingly intuitive, safe, and easy-to-use. And not only will drivers love putting the device to use with cellphones via Bluetooth technology, but by using it as a hands-free SVOX TTS powered device, they are also investing in their safety.
