NAVIGON 'Wows' Consumers with the Affordable NAVIGON 2100(TM)

BERLIN, Aug. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- NAVIGON, a leading provider of navigation products and solutions, today unveiled the elegantly designed NAVIGON 2100(TM) at IFA 2007, the world's largest consumer electronics show. Packed with "wow" features, the NAVIGON 2100, a slim, easy-to-use and affordable personal navigation device for the North American market, surpasses the basics to deliver an intelligent, premium navigation experience in an innovatively designed package.

"With the NAVIGON 2100, it was our aim to hit a price point that was within reach of all consumers without sacrificing NAVIGON-quality form and function," said Andreas Hecht, NAVIGON's general manager for the Americas. "The NAVIGON 2100 has the same DNA that has won us awards with other products in our portfolio. It is a result of the same intelligent design and intuitive innovation -- and it offers features that aren't available in systems at twice the price."

Predictive text and city-first or street-first data entry, as well as millions of pre-loaded points of interest, help make destination entry easy.

    --  Reality View(TM): exclusive and available only on all NAVIGON devices,

        complex interchanges, complete with road geometry and actual road

        names
