News: Navman announce the Spirit S100 satnav

Yesterday we were invited to London for a preview of the latest Satnav to be announced by Navman. Today Navman announce the Spirit S100 PND sporting a new Aluminium case and a flat screen with no bevel. The new S100 is probably the thinnest Satnav measuring just 13.5mm thick.

If aluminium styling and flat bevel-less screens remind you of a certain iXxx product range then you would not be too surprised to hear about the new "Glide Touch" user interface. With a redesigned user interface Navman have done away with the hardware buttons to control the satnav and have now implemented a full touch screen interface.

The icons are colour coded and there are 3 different methods to find your destination: Go; Find; and Explore. There are pop-up menus and display items, with a dockable information panel.

The map display itself is now presented using "ClearView" maps, reducing the information on the screen and clearly highlighting your route. Also introduced are 3D-Landmarks in the cities and 3D Junction views with "real" signpost information.

Also introduced with the Navman S100 is a true pedestrian mode. This uses Tele Atlas City-Maps and provides routing on footpaths and underpasses whilst avoiding dangerous intersections.

The Navman S100 should start appearing in the stores in November with a price tag of £199.
