NAVIGON Software Selected by Delphi for its New Personal Navigation Device
LAS VEGAS and CHICAGO, Oct. 31 -- NAVIGON, Germany's
leading navigation software maker, helped Delphi Corporation recently
launch NAV200, a compelling new entrant to the personal navigation device
market -- one of the fastest-growing sectors in consumer electronics.
Delphi's NAV200 comes with clout and credibility given the company's
global leadership position in automotive technology and systems components.
Delphi, with a history that spans more than 100 years, is a world leader in
mobile electronics, and vehicle components and systems technology. Today,
Delphi is the leading manufacturer of satellite radios and accessories with
over 14 million sold to date. In fact, three out of four people listen to
satellite radio on Delphi hardware. Delphi hopes to follow that success
with NAV200. The product employs NAVTEQ digital maps and will launch in
North America, quickly followed by Europe and South America. In the U.S.,
NAV200 will sell for $399.99.
"NAVIGON played a pivotal role helping to bring this product to market.
They understood the business of integration," said Adiel Avelar, global
navigation business line manager, Delphi. "They helped make the journey to
market smooth and easy -- just what you want from a real world navigation
experience."
