Navman Launches the Perfect, Portable Navigation Package - The New iCN530
LONDON, March 30, 2006

Satellite navigation pioneer Navman launches the new iCN530, the perfect, portable navigation package. Sleek and pocket-sized, the new iCN530 measures just 22 millimetres in depth and weighs less than 200 grams, making the iCN530 one of the lightest and most portable navigation models ever. The iCN530 also features an integrated SiRF Star III GPS antenna and a non-reflective 3.5 QVGA LCD touch-screen.

The iCN530 is packed with advanced features: extended voice guidance which now includes junction and road numbers; clearer map display and colour choice; additional 3D next-turn map arrows; and detailed trip-meter report. Furthermore, the iCN530 offers unique one-touch fuel and park buttons to quickly and safely locate the nearest petrol stations and parking places.

A new and simplified car mount design also allows quickrelease and safe storage of the iCN530. To escape traffic, the iCN530 also offers subscription-free, live traffic information via an optional traffic pack first launched by Navman in 2005.

Escape Traffic
The innovative traffic pack makes the iCN530 the definitive driving companion. Attach the pack and the iCN530 receives live TMC traffic updates. Updates are then displayed as icons on the map to provide all the information you need for the road ahead. You can therefore easily plan your trip, while also choosing between automatic or manual re-routing to avoid congested areas.

The plug and play pack fits neatly and discreetly into the back of the iCN530 cradle and includes subscription-free traffic information for the UK, France and Germany, with no need for additional equipment and no hidden data costs.

Ultimate Performance
The iCN530 comes equipped with the very latest GPS technology in second generation SiRF Star III. It pinpoints your location even faster and improves reception in environments where there is a weak signal, such as areas surrounded by high buildings or dense foliage.

Ultimate performance doesn t just mean superb GPS though; simplicity and ease-of-use are also key contributors to the iCN530 s performance. Designed to work straight out of the box, the iCN530 offers all the great features associated with the current Navman iCN range including back-on-track technology, 3D-map view and turn-by-turn voice instructions.

In fact, navigation couldn t be easier: By simply inputting a destination on the colour touch screen, the iCN530 quickly plans the best route door-to-door. There is a wide range of ways to enter a destination, including by area, town, specific street, junction or point of Interest. The iCN530 even supports full UK postcodes, for quick and simple input to precise locations.

UK and Ireland maps packed with the latest TeleAtlas data are standard on the iCN 530, while the supplied CD provides additional street-level maps for 17 European countries.

Advanced map imagery gives a superb impression of surroundings on screen, including land contours, parks and forests and a choice of full 3D moving maps, plus a 2D mini-map screen and route summary.

Also included with the iCN530 are a sleek lightweight remote control, car charger and main power adaptor.

The Perfect Portable Package
Prash Vadgama, president of Navman s Consumer Navigation Group, said, We are constantly looking at ways to push the boundaries of satellite navigation through innovative product development. Navman was the first GPS provider to offer subscription-free live traffic, and the traffic pack with the iCN530 is a good example of how, once again, we are driving portable navigation to the next level. We have already experienced great success with traffic information through our high-end iCN550 and we are excited to bring an affordable device to the market that offers the fantastic additional value of real-time traffic information.

The iCN530 represents Navman's continued drive to create great user experiences by focusing on the important things, Prash explained. Portable design is important to users for both convenience and security reasons. Our innovative one-touch fuel and park buttons help users access important last-mile information both quickly and safely. Also, our advanced, new features such as extended voice guidance and live traffic deliver a richer and more beneficial experience. In short, the new iCN530 s advanced features add up to provide the perfect, portable iCN package.

Availability
Available starting in April 2006 from leading retailers and e-tailers, the iCN530 will retail for £299 Inc VAT. The traffic pack is available separately for approximately £100 Inc VAT.

Navman s New iCN720 and iCN750 to Provide World-First, Portable, In-car Navigation System Using NavPix
LONDON, March 30, 2006

Satellite navigation pioneer Navman announced today that it has launched the new iCN720 and iCN750, two innovative portable navigation products featuring NavPix a breakthrough technology which offers a unique and intuitive way to navigate to a destination using just images. Available in Europe starting in May 2006, both systems offer the very latest high-definition, 4-inch widescreens and brand-new navigation software, together with the very latest GPS technology and live traffic information.

As simple as: Picture, Touch, Go
Images are an obvious and unmistakeable way to identify a destination, says Prash Vadgama, president of Navman's Consumer Navigation Group. For example, if we wanted
to enter the Eiffel Tower as a destination within a current navigation device, how many of
us would know the actual address? Not many, but we all know what it looks like. With NavPix , you simply view the NavPix images on your Navman, touch the NavPix you
want to select, and go.

Click, Share, Download, Explore
You can use the built-in camera on the iCN700 series to take a NavPix image of
something that inspires or interests you, says Prash. It might be a location you've
stumbled upon by chance and want to return to. It could be a great restaurant, a scenic
view or an amazing building or maybe something relevant to your professional life, such
as a location for a photo shoot, a property for sale or a scene you need to record .

Once created, NavPix images can be uploaded and stored within a personalised, online
album that can be created on the Navman website at www.navman.com. The website will
also have NavPix images of famous landmarks and interesting places to download, as
well as online tools to create NavPix images from any digital picture such as jpegs, by
automatically assigning the complete longitude and latitude information to the image. When you've taken and uploaded your own NavPix images, you can share them with other NavPix creators and users from the Navman global community.

NavPix : Picture Yourself There
We are proud to be launching a world-first technology with NavPix , says Prash. We
strongly believe that it will become the de facto standard for navigation in the future. This is the beginning of a pioneering and exciting new process.

Wide-screen navigation
Both the iCN720 and iCN750 boast the latest 4-inch, high-resolution screen with 70 percent more pixels than most products available on the market today. This high-quality display offers a crystal-clear 3D view of the route. Navman has developed a new software interface to accompany this widescreen format, with user-friendly touch screen and soft keys to easily access navigation functions. Getting from point A to point B has never been so simple.

Most satellite navigation products on the market today offer QVGA screens (320x240 pixels) while the iCN720 and iCN750 are equipped with the world s first WQVGA high resolution screen (480x272 pixels).

Second-generation SiRF Star III The Latest GPS technology
The new iCN720 and iCN750 feature the very latest GPS technology: the second generation SiRF Star III. The reception is significantly improved in environments with a
weak signal such as areas surrounded by high buildings or dense foliage. This new GPS
technology also offers lower power consumption therefore providing longer battery life.

All new navigation software
The iCN700 series features brand-new navigation software with many added, advanced
features to enhance the user experience. Advanced motorway guidance not only tells you
which junction to take, but also what road to enter next. The new, built-in trip computer
gives you full details of your journey including distance travelled, time taken, average
speed, maximum speed, and even time spent stationary.

Smart navigation: Escape traffic jams
The optional traffic pack makes the Navman iCN 700 series the ultimate tool for all
motorists. The iCN720 and iCN750 display live traffic information as icons on the map and
provide you with all the information you need about the road ahead. Users can easily plan
their trip, view incidents and re-route to avoid problems. The traffic pack is plug-and-play
and includes a free, lifetime traffic subscription for the UK, France and Germany, with no
need for additional equipment and no hidden data costs.

Intelligent safety camera data
Navman iCN700 series devices also offers up-to-date safety camera warnings through a
database which can be downloaded from www.navman.com. Users can activate an audio
warning of the legal speed limit when approaching a speed camera.

Additional Features
Featuring two dedicated hardware buttons with clear icons, the iCN720 and
iCN750 are the only navigation systems that allow you to find nearby fuel stations
and parking areas at the touch of a button.

In the United Kingdom, the full postcode search lets you find your destination
quickly and easily.

An optional RF remote control can be attached to your steering wheel, enabling
you to operate the unit easily and safely. With RF technology, the remote is easier
to use as there is no need to point the remote control directly at the iCN.

The iCN720 features maps of the UK and Ireland while the iCN750 has detailed
maps of 17 Western European countries pre-installed on its built-in hard drive.
New, easy release car suction mount makes it simple and easy to install and
remove for secure and quick storage.

Price and availability
The iCN720 and iCN750 models will be available from leading retailers and e-tailers
starting in May 2006. Both units come with a car suction mount, cigarette lighter adaptor,
carry case, USB cable and main power adaptor. The iCN720 will retail for £399 and the
iCN750 for £549 inc. VAT. The traffic pack is available separately for approximately £100
inc. VAT.

Navman Introduces the World s First Image-based Navigation System Meet NavPix and Change the Way You Navigate Forever
LONDON, March 30, 2006

Satellite navigation pioneer Navman is introducing NavPix , a breakthrough technology which offers a unique and intuitive way to navigate to a destination using just images. NavPix goes beyond just simplifying navigation: it introduces a whole new image-based approach to navigation that is easy to use and can be used anywhere, both in and out of the car. NavPix will initially be available on two new, state-of-the-art Navman portable navigation devices the iCN720 and iCN750,available in Europe from May 2006.

As simple as: Picture, Touch, Go.
Images are an obvious and unmistakeable way to identify a destination, says Prash
Vadgama, president of Navman's Consumer Navigation Group. For example, if we wanted
to enter the Eiffel Tower as a destination within a current navigation device, how many of
us would know the actual address ? Not many, but we all know what it looks like. With
NavPix , you simply view the NavPix images on your Navman, touch the NavPix you
want to select, and go. Your Navman device will automatically calculate the best route to
your destination without entering any complicated, alphanumeric addresses.

Each NavPix image has the exact geographical location of where that picture was taken
embedded in the image data. You then use that image as an alternative way to choose and set your destination in the Navman iCN700 series, adds Prash.

Click, Share, Download, Explore.
You can use the built-in camera on the iCN700 series to take a NavPix image of
something that inspires or interests you, says Prash. It might be a location you ve
stumbled upon by chance and want to return to. It could be a great restaurant, a scenic
view or an amazing building or maybe something relevant to your professional life, such
as a location for a photo shoot, a property for sale or a scene you need to record .

We tend to remember images better than we remember addresses. A NavPix image is
therefore a much clearer way to find a location because it combines the easy identification
of a location with accurate and precise geographical data. Take a NavPix image and your
Navman device automatically assigns the longitude and latitude of the location, together
with complete address and postcode information. You ll then always be able to navigate to
that exact spot again by using the NavPix to set the destination on your Navman.

Once created, NavPix images can be uploaded and stored within a personalised, on-line
album that can be created on the Navman website at www.navman.com. The website will
also have NavPix images of famous landmarks and interesting places to download, as
well as on-line tools to create NavPix images from an address with a digital picture such
as jpegs, by automatically assigning the complete longitude and latitude information to the
image to create a new NavPix .

This is just the beginning of what you will be able to do with NavPix , says Prash.
When you ve taken and uploaded your own NavPix , you can share them with other
NavPix creators and users from the Navman global community. Sharing NavPix
images with friends or the Navman community will be easy and will open a world of
opportunities for different users across the globe.

NavPix : Picture Yourself There.
Prash says: The possibilities of NavPix are almost endless, for both leisure and
professional users. This innovative technology marks a completely new approach to
satellite navigation, one which will change the way people navigate in the future. In
essence, NavPix is the beginning of a pioneering and exciting new process.
