Visteon Corp. is taking portability to a new level with the launch of its new Portable NavMate navigation system. Drivers will now have the option of taking the system and installing it as needed from one vehicle to the next. In a matter of minutes, drivers are able to disconnect, reconnect and be on their way to the next destination. Portable NavMate can operate in any vehicle and can be set up in just two minutes. The system fits in a convenient carrying case that houses everything needed for ease of transfer, 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 easy-to-follow turn icons, digital maps, and voice directions. Pre-programmed destinations and addresses can be entered using on-screen menus-including thousands of important locations such as ATMs, gas stations, restaurants, and hotels. Additionally, vehicle location is continuously calculated through global positioning satellite (GPS) technology. Portable NavMate also combines gyroscope and a version of Visteon’s map-matching technology to pinpoint a vehicle’s location within 25 meters at all times. The new Portable NavMate is now available in North America through authorized Visteon audio distributors and to the fleet market.
