Thales’ navigation business, creators of the Hertz NeverLost and a leading global innovator of outdoor and vehicle navigation solutions, announced today three new portable vehicle navigation devices, the Magellan RoadMate 3000T, 3050T and 6000T. The products introduce a new intelligent design that’s compact, stylish, and even easier to use than previous solutions. They also deliver a better navigation experience by combining the award-winning Magellan user interface with the advanced speed and accuracy of Magellan NavEngine(TM) routing technology, an Intel XScale(R) processor and real-time traffic information. The Magellan RoadMate 3000T, 3050T and 6000T cater to drivers’ needs for out-of-the-box routing, traffic avoidance, multi-media functions and features that simplify driving while eliminating the frustration, waste of time and fear of getting lost.

The Magellan RoadMate 6000T is the first in the Magellan line to deliver the convenience of hands-free calling with Bluetooth enabled phones. It also includes a built-in real-time traffic receiver, a photo viewer and can simultaneously receive turn-by-turn route guidance while enjoying MP3 and WMA music files from an SD or MMC memory card. The Magellan RoadMate 6000T also delivers SayWhere(TM) text-to-speech guidance that speaks the name of the road for upcoming maneuvers. The product’s integrated battery allows drivers to operate the device without its cigarette lighter adapter, in or away from the car, whether enjoying music, inputting addresses or accessing the database of more than six million points of interest for phone numbers and locations of shops, entertainment, restaurants and other businesses.

Each device has an integrated battery; photo viewer; music player; and several useful features like SmartDetour(TM), a free integrated feature that gives drivers the option to route around freeway traffic; multi-destination routing; and route optimization – ideal for drivers who travel to several destinations in a single day. In addition, the products are designed to support fee-based live traffic updates so the systems can automatically re-direct drivers when faster routes are available…
