GPS pioneer Navman is redefining electronic navigation with the launch of its new S-Series, following a dramatic redesign of the company’s unique satellite navigation systems. During a year of extensive consumer research, Navman listened to both existing and potential customers.What Navman found, perhaps not unsurprisingly, was that all consumers want a GPS system with richness of features, presented in an easy to use, simple and intelligent way. In response, Navman has redesigned its product range from the inside out.
With more than 500 enhancements to the range, adding style and security without compromising its simplicity, the four models in the S-Series range – the S30, S50, S70 and S90i – have been designed to accommodate both first time users looking for the basics and experienced GPS buyers looking for uncluttered depth.
Among these improvements is a stylish and lightweight new exterior, with the flagship S90i now 20% slimmer than any other product in its class. A re-designed user interface and pixel-perfect 4.3” widescreen offers the clearest map display and menu navigation of any sat nav provider. Having enhanced favourites such as Points of Interest search and integrated real-time traffic, Navman has incorporated new ideas into this groundbreaking range, such as an SOS button and a space-saving foldable cradle.
With an array of additional innovative features, the new S-Series is easier to read and operate than ever before thanks to a brand new interface. The most up-to-date 2007 map data comes as standard, for ultimate reliability and accuracy. The brilliant anti-glare widescreen display ensures that the maps offer an unrivalled view of the journey ahead and text is clearer and crisper than ever. And, for the first time, Navman has also added a PIN code lock to the new range – the four-digit PIN required by the S50, S70 and S90i models gives added security and peace of mind, reassuring you that nobody else will be able to operate your GPS system without authorisation.
Other intelligent features such as the auto dimming screen, which automatically switches from day to night mode as evening falls, and a quick drop down menu showing the extra information you want only when you need it, make this the most user-friendly and intuitive GPS range available. Navman has even added a unique technology to the S-Series with a Speaking Keyboard that speaks each letter and number as you type, meaning that inputting postcodes and addresses is more accurate. With these extra features, Navman’s S-Series is as smooth and slick on the inside as it is on the outside.
In addition, Navman has integrated Bluetooth capability to make your journeys as safe and easy as possible. S-Series devices are able to connect with your mobile phone and dial the number for contacts or Points Of Interest with one touch, the safe and legal way for you to multi task on your journey. Also, the dedicated SOS button is an indispensable addition to the new range, providing you with a list of emergency services - from hospitals to garages, dentists to police stations - in the area should you need assistance of any kind.
