Navevo Unveils Specialist Satellite Navigation Device for Truckers at CeBIT 2009


LETCHWORTH, England, March 2 /PRNewswire/ --     Navevo, the UK's leading specialist GPS software developer, has today
announced that it will be unveiling the new ProNav PNN200E at CeBIT 2009, the
European version of its specialist satellite navigation solution for drivers
of commercial vehicles.

As part of a strategic move to provide dedicated sat-nav solutions to the
commercial vehicle market worldwide and following on from the successful
launch of ProNav in the UK, Navevo's ProNav PNN200E, featuring Western
European maps, is set to make its way into mainland Europe.

Featuring NAVTEQ Transport*, ProNav has been designed from the ground up
to appeal to the specific needs of the European trucker. It allows drivers to
enter their vehicles' vital statistics, including; weight, height, length,
width and the goods they are carrying, the software then calculates a route
to ensure drivers are not confronted with roads or obstacles not suitable for
their vehicle or cargo. ProNav also 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.

"We are dedicated to developing solutions for niche markets which have
very specific requirements," said David Guiver, Sales and Marketing Director
at Navevo. "ProNav was recently awarded the Frost and Sullivan 2008 European
Telematics Product Innovation Award and following a heavy-weight marketing
and PR campaign, is attracting attention across the globe. As one of the
fastest growing GPS software developers, we will be using CeBIT as a
springboard to unveil the ProNav PNN200E to Europe with the primary objective
being to grow our European reseller base. We are confident that we will come
away with new partners to help deliver our specialist solution to the
European commercial vehicle market."

The news follows two successful UK launches for Navevo. In
September last year they launched BBNav, the first sat-nav solution for the
disabled driving community, followed by the second version of its ProNav
software, the company's flagship product, in December.

With plans to launch the ProNav PNN200E in France and Germany first,
shortly followed by other European countries such as Benelux and Austria,
Navevo is looking to form long term strategic partnerships with channel
partners that are well positioned to take the PNN200E to their respective
markets across Europe.

The ProNav PNN200E from Navevo will be on display on the Pama stand at
CeBIT in Hall 16, Stand E02. For further information about ProNav, please
