Visteon Corporation has launched the Portable NavMate(R) Navigation System, which gives drivers the option of intalling the system as needed from one vehicle to the next. According to Visteon, drivers are able to disconnect, reconnect and be on their way to the next destination within a matter of minutes. Portable NavMate can operate in any vehicle and can be set up in just a few minutes, according to Visteon officials. The system fits in a carrying case that houses everything needed, including the controller; charger and battery; GPS antenna and cord; 12-volt power cord; and the NavMate display unit. The portable navigation system offers turn-by-turn navigation assistance, a color-display screen, and features turn icons, digital maps and voice directions. Pre-programmed destinations and addresses can be entered using on-screen menus, including thousands of locations such as ATMs, gas stations, restaurants, and hotels. Vehicle location is continuously calculated through global positioning satellite (GPS) technology. Portable NavMate also combines a gyroscope and a version of Visteon's map-matching technology to pinpoint a vehicle's location within 25 meters at all times. Significant Benefits for Fleet Market The new Portable NavMate is now available in North America through authorized Visteon distributors and to the fleet market. The fleet market can achieve significant benefits with this product, according to Rick Meyer, general manager of Visteon Global Aftermarket Operations. "Efficiency is more important than ever in the fleet industry today," Meyer said. "The portability, ease of set-up and simple operation of the Portable NavMate will help streamline the entire fleet industry."
