DELPHI

NAV200 PORTABLE SIZE NAVIGATION SYSTEM

NAV200 offers a unique blend of advanced navigation and entertainment features in a sleek, pocket-size package for Consumers!

NEW Product Announcement

Available for sale in October, 2006

 

First time users of navigation will find this unit, which is not much bigger than your hand, less intimidating and

 easy-to-use. Ready to go right out of the box, the NAV200

installs in just two simple steps via an included suction cup goose-neck windshield mount or unique suction disk for dash mount.

New users will also avoid the typical hassles of downloading navigation software on the computer and synchronizing it with the unit. Instead the NAV200 comes with U.S.

(including Hawaii, Alaska & Puerto Rico) and Canada maps already preloaded on an SD card. There is no downloading required. And if something were to happen to the SD card,

back up map files are stored on an included DVD. The NAV200 home screen features a bright, colorful interface with large round icons

on a touch screen for simple selections. In fact, the NAV200 software is based on the familiar Microsoft® Windows® CE operating system for a comfortable user experience.

Voice guided directions via built in speakers also makes navigating simpler by eliminating the need to look at the screen once your preferred route is set.

“Industry trends show the personal navigation market is expected to grow more than double over last year,” stated Adiel Avelar, global navigation business line manager, Delphi

Consumer Electronics. “Part of this growth is driven by a convergence of different technologies such as navigation and entertainment. Combining these technologies at a fair

price adds significant value and is very appealing to a large group of underserved, first time users who want more for their money.”

Delphi NAV200 operates in two modes, standard and advanced, which helps maintain appeal to a broad range of consumers with varying levels of navigation experience.

The NAV200 boasts industry-leading navigation features. It is driven by one of the most powerful processors in the industry at 400 mHz for faster routing calculations. NAV200

features a high quality SIRFstart™ III GPS chipset antenna, which offers high sensitivity to position for improved mapping accuracy. And it uses the industry-leading NAVTEQ™

mapping database, which is trusted by popular online mapping services and several automakers. This combination of advanced navigation features results in fast and accurate

routing calculations—packaged together at a very competitive price. Real time traffic readiness provides city commuters the option of adding Traffic

Monitoring Channel (TMC) programming, a subscription-based service that provides navigation systems with traffic information that is broadcast via radio stations. By using

TMC, which requires an optional adaptor, NAV200 will receive up-to-the-minute traffic information and adjust the route accordingly.

“In addition to the sophisticated navigation features, NAV200 has popular entertainment functionality including a movie player, music player and picture viewer for use

when not navigating, “stated Avelar. “Delphi has found a way to effectively blend these desirable technologies while maintaining a budget-conscious price that cannot currently be

found in the industry.”

The NAV200 popular entertainment features are accessed via optional secure digital

(SD) cards. SD memory cards are available for purchase and should be used to store media files such as video (avi), images (jpg, gif, png) and/or audio (mp3, wav) files. The

entertainment features are also complemented by a world clock, calculator and game.
