IFA 2006: The new klickTel Navigator generation pilots comfortably and safely through traffic

Berlin (ots) - At the 2006 Consumer Electronics Trade Fair
Internationale Funkausstellung (IFA) in Berlin, klickTel will be
unveiling the next generation of its klickTel Navigator. This is the
first navigation system that includes white and yellow pages for
Germany, a 4.3" screen in 16:9 format, cutting-edge technology for
traffic information (TMCpro) and street name announcement. Beyond
that, klickTel is more concerned in its new navigation system with
safe and responsible driving: The new klickTel Navigator is like a
'safety pilot' for Germany's drivers with its warnings for exceeding
speed limits, weather and traffic jam dangers as well as accident
zone information. Visitors will find klickTel at stand 111 in hall
8.1.

The new model of the klickTel Navigator, unveiled at the largest
consumer electronics trade fair in the world, will make finding the
way to friends' houses, business partners' premises or customers more
efficient, convenient, and safe thanks to the integrated white and
yellow pages for Germany. The new PNA versions' K600 (Germany,
Austria, Switzerland) and K680 (Europe) key design features include a
4.3" (11 cm) WQVGA touchscreen in 16:9 format, an infra-red remote
control and a high-performance 2200 mAh rechargeable battery.

The functions of the new navigation software, which is based on
the Windows CE 5.0 operating system, have been expanded and improved:
As first provider of navigation systems klickTel provides Traffic
Message Channel pro (TMCpro), the latest digital technology for
up-to-the-minute and precise transport and traffic jam information,
as standard feature for PNAs at no extra charge. In the new
generation of the klickTel Navigator, the TMC antenna is entirely
integrated into the device itself. TMCpro uses data from several
thousand bridge sensors and contact loops on roads, together with
cameras at traffic junctions, thereby offering functionality that
goes far beyond the traffic message channel information (TMC) created
by the police, fire brigade and ADAC, the largest German automobile
club.

With a range of applications, the new klickTel navigation software
helps drivers to travel more safely and responsibly:

- Speed information on freeways and main roads
- Traffic jam, ice, and fog warnings through TMCpro
- Warnings for accident zones covered by radar systems.

Further safety features such as 'speed information in long-term
construction zones on freeways', 'warnings against excessive speed
near kindergartens and schools', and 'warnings for recognized
accident zones' (sharp curves, for example) are in the planning
stages. Additional safety is also provided inside the car by an
innovative 'locking technology': The device is securely anchored in
its holder with the stylus.

Moreover, the new version of the klickTel Navigator is even more
user-friendly: The user can now access all functions directly from
the map and the new street announcement has been made even more
precise. klickTel has also expanded the number and graphic display of
the more than 1 million current entries in the industry directory,
along with the points of interest (POI). The new version of the
klickTel Navigator will also highlight banking machines and
subsidiaries for the leading banks in Germany, brand logos for petrol
stations and fine German hotels and restaurants on the maps.
