Sat-Nav For HGV And Van Drivers Unveiled
Letchworth, UK (SPX) May 16, 2008 Navevo has unveiled its sat-nav solution for drivers of heavy goods vehicles and vans. Using NAVTEQ Transport, ProNav GPS software features dynamic routing and navigation optimisation based on a vehicle's dimensions and legal restrictions to avoid incidents such as travelling down unsuitable narrow roads or crossing bridges with vehicles that break weight restrictions. Key Features: - Enhanced GPS navigation for HGVs, vans, horse transporters, caravans or trailers - Dynamic routing and navigation optimisation based on - Vehicle dimensions (e.g. height, width, length, weight) - Legal restrictions (e.g. no HGVs allowed, carrying hazardous goods) - Other warning data (e.g. cross winds, steep hills) - London unloading and parking penalties database - POI data for professional drivers
Optimised Navigation During a journey, ProNav warns drivers of hazards such as steep hills, high cross winds, and the risk of grounding. These are displayed as icons on the software's maps, well in advance of approach to provide drivers with time to decide whether to change their route. ProNav can instantly re-route a driver's journey if deemed necessary.
Exclusive London Unloading and Parking Penalties Database ProNav also includes London parking penalties warnings (parking pips and penalty charge notice hotspots) to help drivers avoid charges.
POI Database for Professional Drivers ProNav comes complete with street level mapping for the UK and Republic of Ireland, seven digit postcode lookup and a six month free trial of safety camera alerts. Thanks to ProNav's dual functionality, features designed specifically for the professional driver can be switched off, turning ProNav into a standard GPS solution for every day use in the car. "We have developed ProNav to ensure its advanced capability and ability to overcome many of the problems professional drivers face when using traditional sat-nav systems," says David Guiver, Navevo's Business Development Director: "We have chosen to exclusively partner with electronics expert Maplin for the launch of ProNav and are extremely pleased to be the first to offer this innovative solution." Navevo will be extending its ProNav software to work with commercial fleet mobile market solutions in the near future. Navevo is also currently developing a European and US version of ProNav software. Related Links ProNav GPS Applications, Technology and Suppliers
