CHICAGO, Dec. 20 /- NAVIGON, creators of the award-winning MobileNavigator (MN) brand software, today debuted MobileNavigator Premium(TM), its new state-of-the art navigation software created expressly for high-end navigation products.

MN Premium, used in more navigation products than any other software, elegantly rethinks the navigation experience with enhanced logic and performance, and sophisticated category-leading features. MN Premium is the software of choice for new and emerging portable navigation products including the Pocket LOOX(TM) N100, co-developed by Fujitsu-Siemens and NAVIGON, and the P'9611(TM) by Porsche Design Group.

Rich and full featured, MN Premium offers superior navigation features that provide OEMs with high levels of customization to ensure product differentiation. This enables NAVIGON customers to create a unique navigation device and meet their brand identity requirements.

With MN Premium, advanced features ensure a specialized navigation experience. Destination entry is easy and intuitive, predictive spelling speeds address input and a "city or street first" option lets users enter the information they know upfront without impacting the final destination.

The software surpasses other navigation products with additional signature features including:

o Superior route guidance - Making navigation simpler, users can create their own itinerary by entering several destinations at once.
o Voice command - MN Premium understands the spoken word, allowing users to save destinations verbally and start navigation by voice command.
o Lane guidance - ensuring the best orientation on the market, MN Premium's lane guidance feature assists in complex traffic situations by highlighting the lanes drivers need to follow -- a first for any PND device in the American market.
o Speed signs and warning - MN Premium shows speed signs, and monitors speed continuously with acoustic and visual warnings.
o Road signs (Signpost text) - Clearer and easier navigation can be achieved with the display of actual road signs.
o Branded Point of Interest (POI) icons - Looking for favorite POI is made easier with MN Premium which searches for POI by brand names.
