Navman builds on success of the award-winning F20 by extending the Freedom range with 4 new options.
LONDON, February 2007 -
Building on the phenomenal success of the award winning F20 come four new additions to the Freedom range. For the first time, sat nav users can choose between four flexible new packages that satisfy different user needs while delivering the core navigation essentials and innovations for which Navman is world famous.
The flexible new packages offer enhanced features that reflect user core needs including road safety and live traffic information. In a market first, Navman introduce a unique Bluetooth hands-free module which is the first to work flexibly with or without the sat nav unit. A new TMC real-time traffic package with no ongoing subscription or GPRS costs is also available via a clip-on accessory, so can easily be transferred to a second Navman device. And, for those who want it all, there is a new combined TMC traffic and Hands-free calling module - the first in the market to offer the best of both worlds. To complete the options, there’s even a new European version of the F20 with comprehensive mapping for 21 Western European countries.
All in all, the new extended Freedom range delivers the best combination of choice and value built on proven success.

“The extension of our hugely successful F20 range is a response to what our customers want from their GPS systems,” says Prash Vadgama, President of Navman’s Consumer Division. “So many different kinds of people are now using satellite navigation, but they want to use it in their own way – those who use it on holidays and road trips like to have European street-level mapping data, while others who use GPS at work benefit from Bluetooth capabilities. Some may want both. By combining an affordable and easy-to-use GPS system with optional high-end additions, users can now customise their own satellite navigation systems with features to suit them.”
