 Today NAVIGON has launched several new products for those on a budget, namely the 1200, 1210 and 2200, 2210 series sat navs. The NAVIGON 1200 with UK and Ireland maps and the 1210 with maps of 40 European countries deliver modern design and ease of use with extensive functionality at an attractive price.
For the more demanding user, the NAVIGON 2200 with UK and Ireland maps and 2210 with 40 European country maps offer a more premium alternative for entry-level buyers with integrated Pro versions of Reality View and Speed Assistant plus Text-to-Speech and integrated Traffic (TMC) receiver should customers wish to add this service. Both units are utilising a slim design but the 2200/2210 comes in a more striking, chrome frame design.
The new NAVIGON sat navs incorporate the latest software technology as well as the latest Lane Assistant Pro offering a better overview and showing the ideal lane position before a turn-off at multi-lane junctions.
Other new features include Emergency Help, which gives access to all relevant information on the nearest hospital, police station, garages and pharmacies at a single click (contact data such as addresses and telephone numbers are also provided). Furthermore, in addition to two million pre-entered special destinations, users can now save their own favourites to the map under a name of their choice and indicated by a special icon.
The NAVIGON 1200/1210 series comes equipped with a ‘lite’ version of Reality View to display motorway exits realistically but unlike the NAVIGON 2200/2210 series, the 1200/1210 series does not have the option of upgrading to Traffic information delivered over RDS/TMC.
For the more demanding user who still wants an entry-level solution, the NAVIGON 2200/2210 series includes Reality View Pro to display exits at multi-lane crossroads in urban areas as well as full signposting at complex motorway exits and junctions.
Also included is Text-to-speech to announce the turns with the road names and numbers. The integrated TMC traffic information module with the TMC antenna cleverly integrated into the car charger cable, works in all countries with free-to-air traffic information services.
Sadly there are no free-to-air providers in the UK but with an upgrade to a lifetime premium TMC license costing just £40 from the NAVIGON Fresh online service, you can have the best traffic information available.
The NAVIGON 1210 (maps of 40 European countries) is available in September at an RRP of £124.99 inc. VAT
