Media Release
INTRODUCING NAVMAN’S BEST EVER 2018 GPS RANGE
Built on more than 15 years expertise in automotive navigation technologies
July 2018 - For more than 15 years, Navman has set new standards in vehicle navigation, pioneered new technologies and understands better than any other brand how to deliver clear, helpful directions that keep people safe on the roads. This year’s Navman’s GPS range sees the perfection of these technologies to suit every driver, for every drive.
Thse Navman GPS devices build on the research and learnings developed over the years and provide a range of incredibly useful features for all types of drivers. They are: EZY450LMT, MY690LMMT and Drive Duo SUV.
Wendy Hammond, General Manager Navman Australia says, “When you buy a Navman, you have the reassurance of a company that really knows about navigation. We’ve studied how people take in both visual and verbal guidance, why distances are important and how effective landmark and lane guidance can be to avoid driving frustrations.
“We know people need reminders that they’re approaching school zones or safety cameras, to slow down if there are tricky road conditions ahead, and we know how critical Live Traffic is to our city drivers. And when they use the Navman, all this information is integrated in the one place and the guidance is seamless, unlike using a mobile phone where you have to switch between different apps.
“We also know some drivers have different needs to others – some want simple, clear instructions while others really appreciate features like the ability to find the nearest petrol station, ATM or café, or want Roadside Assist or a Digital Logbook which is why there is something for every type of driver – whether they’re learning to drive or have been on the road for years.,” she adds.
Every device in the 2018 comes out of the box with first-rate navigation features, with higher-end models offering premium navigation information and hardware. The EZY range features the simplified EZY menu while the homepage of the MY Series models have shortcut buttons like parking, petrol, food or ATM.
All models offer Bluetooth Handsfree, Live Traffic Updates sourced from road cameras and national authorities, Smart Route which calculates the most efficient route based on time of day,
The MY690LMT and Drive Duo SUV provide Zomato Restaurant Guides for on-the go food reviews, Parking Assist for the nearest parking, Multi-Stop Trip Optimisation for efficient multi route planning, Rest Stop Assist for the nearest spot to take a break on long drives, and Parking Assist for easier help if you ever break down. The MY690LMT and Drive Duo SUV have big 6” LCD Touch Screen (all other models are 5”), Premium Driver Alerts, which warns if conditions change ahead, like lane merging or steep hills, and 3D Landmarks with detailed images of prominent buildings so you can orientate your self to your surroundings easier.
The Drive Duo SUV is a GPS and dashcam with special features for SUV and 4WD vehicles, large vehicles and those towing a caravan or boat. It sports an inbuilt high quality Super 2K Full HD dash cam for extremely high quality recording, Large Vehicle Routing with specific guidance for larger vehicles, 4WD Off Road Routing from a number of sources, and a Lonely Planet Travel Guide. Users can also purchase an optional rear dashcam camera for dual channel recording.
All Navman 2018 models offer Lifetime Map Updates for the most up-to-date maps as Australia re-configures with new infrastructure, as well as the latest information about safety camera and speed limits. A ton of top features come standard, including Spoken Safety Alerts, Speed Limit Alerts, Landmark Guidance which names prominent features in navigation instructions, 3D Junction View & Lane Guidance, a Digital Logbook, Tunnel Simulation for uninterrupted guidance through tunnels and Multiple Languages pre-loaded, including Chinese.
Navman 2018 range’s RRP are as follows:
