NAVIGON 7210: unique and limitless design

Hamburg (ots) - No ordinary exterior, but a smooth, extremely slim
SmartDisplay: visually, the NAVIGON 7210 breaks the mould - it has no
frame. Technically, it features the best the world of navigation has
to offer: Curve Warner, Voice Recognition Pro, Landmark View3D, and
also brand new: "Emergency Help" and "Favourites on the Map"

Sometimes less is more. This is especially true of the minimalist
design of the new NAVIGON 7210: fewer frills, instead very
straightforward, extremely slim and 'apparently' no frame. Out of the
ordinary, unique, and not just where its elegant look is concerned.
Already a winner of the internationally acclaimed red dot design
award, it isn't just the exterior that's impressive about this new
style icon. NAVIGON's new designer navigation device with
SmartDisplay will be available from September 2008.

The new NAVIGON 7210 combines the popular functionalities of the
current product family with the very latest from the world of
navigation devices: reliable Voice Recognition Pro, Curve Warner,
Reality View Pro and Lane Assistant Pro, plus the brand new Landmark
View3D, Emergency Help, Favourites on the Map and Curve Warner
features. "Our new navigation device informs just in time acoustical
and as well by a sign on the display about sharp and dangerous curves
on highways and motorways. That leads to more safety on the road. To
make orientation in urban areas even easier, the Lane Assistant shows
you the perfect lane on screen before you turn off at large
crossroads. With Landmark View3D, distinctive points of interest -
such as architectural or historic sights - are now displayed on the
maps in the form of realistic 3D representations", explains Jörn
Watzke, Vice President Product Line Management at NAVIGON AG. "This
aids orientation in not one but two ways - and that right across
Europe." Beyond the city limits, Reality View Pro provides a clearer
overview: Before complicated motorway junctions, the new NAVIGON 7210
shows drivers the right way to the correct exit. The course of the
road, motorway signs and exits are visualised in a photo-realistic
manner on the display. The Curve Warner alone knows about 55.000
dangerous turns in whole Europe.

The new "Emergency Help" functionality indicates the vehicle's
current location and helps find useful points of contact such as
hospitals, police stations, petrol stations or pharmacies. These
destinations can be accessed through the menu, displayed on the map
and integrated into the navigation at the touch of a button.
Additional information, such as a telephone number, is also
displayed, and can conveniently be dialled via the Bluetooth
hands-free kit.

Voice Recognition Pro, which allows you to enter destinations at
the touch of a single button, and new individual special destination
options round off the comprehensive package of functionalities of
this new designer navigator. In addition to the over two million
existing special destinations, you can now also save your own special
destinations and add them to the map, giving the navigation device a
very personal touch.

Inside the NAVIGON 7210, a high-powered 600 MHz processor, 64 MB
of internal memory and 2 GB of flash memory are hard at work to bring
the new functionalities to life in outstanding quality on the
brilliant 4.3 inch SmartDisplay in 16:9 format. A powerful
lithium-ion rechargeable battery (1.600 mAh) guarantees several hours
of unrestricted travel. After that, the car charger with integrated
TMC antenna provides new energy.

With the NAVIGON Fresh online service, the NAVIGON 7210 can be
brought up to date at any time: Registering within 30 days of
purchase guarantees a rebate of 80 percent on the price of 99 euros
for the very latest maps for 24 months. A new update from the NAVTEQ
experts, including new roads, house numbers and special destinations,

comes with maps of 40 European countries, and will be available from
September priced at 349 euros.
