NAVMAN DEBUTS THE iCN 630 PORTABLE IN-VEHICLE NAVIGATION SOLUTION
Navigation Leader Introduces Easy-to-Use, All-in-One Personal Navigation Device Designed For Everyday Drivers
 Las Vegas, NV – Navman, a leading designer and manufacturer of world-class global positioning systems (GPS), communication and marine products, announced today the release of its latest compact GPS product for the consumer electronics and automotive personal navigation markets. The iCN 630 is a portable in-vehicle navigation product that matches innovative street mapping software, with the latest GPS technology to create a safe, easy-to-use guidance system for road warriors and casual drivers alike. Designed for portability between vehicles, the unit is being unveiled today at the 2003 International Consumer Electronics Show.
The iCN 630, developed by Navman, based on the low-power, high-performance Intel® PXA250 Applications Processor with Intel® XScale™ Technology also employs the latest in ultra-clear, ultra-bright, color TFT LCD screens and features a reliable integrated, high-precision WAAS GPS antenna. The unit’s intuitive graphical user interface is powered by Navman’s award-winning navigation software, providing detailed street-level mapping for the 48 contiguous states and Hawaii (Western European maps sold separately), address-to-address routing, Back-on-track rerouting when off-course and an extensive points-of-interest library. Large display icons and easy-to-read maps provide an operator-friendly interface for added safety while driving. The software is fully automatic and provides voice guidance, in addition to visual driving instructions. Map data for the iCN 630 is sourced from Navigation Technologies, which supplies cartography for 100% of the North American in-vehicle navigation market.
“The introduction of the iCN 630 is a direct response to the request of our current, as well as potential customers, for a dedicated navigation device that incorporates a user interface that is as easy-to-use as the GPS 3420, our well-received iPAQ companion product,” said Jeff Fellows, president of Navman USA. “Not everyone owns a PDA, and not everyone who does wants to use it for the purpose of in-vehicle navigation. Furthermore the dedicated nature of the iCN 630 allows us to maximize the unit’s processing power to produce lightning-fast results in route calculation and data response time. The benefits of our comprehensive guidance solution appeal to all drivers.”
The iCN 630 design features a temperature-resistant magnesium case, 3.8” ¼ VGA TFT color display, integrated GPS antenna/receiver, 64MB of RAM for system operation and 64MB of FLASH memory for map storage, user profiles and system software. The device also includes a Secure Digital (SD) / MultiMediaCard (MMC) memory expansion socket for user-supplied SD or MMC cards containing extra map data. Maps are transferred to the unit via USB communication with a personal computer. Additional features include a 7 key, tactical keypad with 8-way pan button, an internal 2” (50mm) speaker and a coaxial connector for an optional external antenna. The Navman system comes complete with a versatile mounting bracket, a standard 12 / 24 volt cigarette lighter adapter for in-vehicle power and a soft protective case.

The device features a high-performance GPS receiver that provides accurate location information within 5 meters. For optimal signal reception, its versatile design, including a variety of mounts, allows for dash, sunroof or rear window mounting. The GPS 4400 also features an embedded, Class 2 Bluetooth transceiver, which is capable of communicating with any Serial Port Profile Bluetooth device, within a 30’ radius. Bluetooth provides a strong and secure connection between devices and also eliminates the need to use valuable memory/expansion slots. The unit is equipped with a blinking blue LED that displays connectivity status and a red LED for low battery indication.
“We design our companion products to help businesses and consumers leverage their existing technology investments,” said Jeff Fellows, president of Navman USA. “The GPS market is more popular than ever. By introducing the GPS 4400, anyone with a Bluetooth-enabled Pocket PC can, cost-effectively, take advantage of our high-end street navigation solution without the need to upgrade to a new PDA. Furthermore, by using Bluetooth to connect with our antenna wirelessly we ensure our product’s compatibility with future Pocket PCs regardless of form factor, making the
GPS 4400 a worthwhile investment for years to come.”
Powered by Navman’s award-winning navigation software, SmartST Professional, the GPS 4400 provides detailed street-level mapping for the 48 contiguous states and Hawaii (Western European maps sold separately), address-to-address routing, Back-on-track rerouting when off-course and an extensive points-of-interest library.

“When designing PDA companion products mobility is one of our top considerations,” said Rus Graham, vice president of marketing, Navman USA. “Our products are packaged for vehicle navigation, but are designed to allow our customers to do so much more. Navman GPS devices can be used while walking or biking, and by loading various compatible software packages on their PDA, consumers can use topographic maps for hiking, marine charts for boating and aeronautical charts for flying. Our products are even used by golfers, farmers and stargazers.”
The complete GPS 4400 solution includes a wireless GPS antenna, SmartST Professional navigation software, a vehicle power adapter, vehicle mounting brackets, and both an armband and lanyard for outdoor personal use. The unit operates for a minimum of 10 hours on 3 AAA Alkaline batteries (included).
