RCA pre-outs enable you to easily expand your sound system. Depending on whether your NavGate unit comes with 1 or 3 RCA pre-outs, you can customise your sound system with separate amplifiers for the front speakers, the rear speakers and/or the subwoofer.

The RCA pre-outs let you create the exact sound you want, with the focus on complete flexibility.

This means that you can connect the system directly to your car's own steering wheel remote control. Look for the accessory matching your car to set this up.

Plug in and play your iPod.

Using an optional cable or adapter (check the product features on the product page to see which one you’ll need), you can connect your iPod directly to your system.

A Point of Interest, or POI, is a specific location that you may find useful or interesting during your journey.

Points of Interest are places like hotels, restaurants, petrol stations, tourist venues, parking lots; even cash machines.

Our sat nav systems have a large amount of POI’s stored in memory. Certain POI’s, such as hotel chains or petrol stations, can be displayed on the map with their specific company logos or with a 3D icon.

You can search for a POI by name, category or via the Destination Search according to the city. This is helpful when trying to locate a hotel, store or even a golf course without an immediate address at hand.

The Vicinity Search displays specific POIs in the surrounding vicinity. You can also search by cuisine-type restaurant listings.

Put simply, NavGate Feeds allows you to fully customise and enhance your sat nav system to your own driving requirements, allowing you to:

Create your own POIs such as sports clubs, shopping locations and golf clubs from the internet, and add them to your sat nav system. Virtually any location, such as camping grounds, ski resorts, stadiums or tourist destinations, can be created as points of interest. You simply make a note of the address details in a CSV format file and NavGate Feeds searches for them via a web search, converting the data so it can be read by your sat nav system.

Create driving reports, particularly useful if you need to calculate your travel expenses in a given period, this application will keep track and provide you with an overview of all the journeys you’ve made and the number of kilometres travelled.

You can also see how economically you have been driving. Eco Drive gives you an evaluation of your acceleration and brake data and also calculates your CO2 emissions. You can then view a graphical representation of this data on your PC. (only on selected models)

NavGate Feeds is available for your PC, iPhone or smartphone and you can download it for free. Simply create an account and register your NavGate system.

City Maps enable you to view selected European capital cities and metropolis areas in closer detail.

On a 25 – 50 metre scale, a city map includes footprints of buildings and the actual geometry of roads like the examples below.



City maps are designed to help you with orientation; another way of guiding you easily to your destination.

More than 2,000 of Europe’s most famous landmarks have been included in our navigation software.

These landmarks, such as the Eiffel Tower in Paris or the Coliseum in Rome are available when navigating in 3D Mode.

TMC stands for Traffic Messaging Channel.

Our system’s TMC receiver keeps you updated on current traffic events and suggest alternative routes.

In countries where real-time TMC traffic information is broadcast (see the list below), the system indicates the traffic events on a map within a range of 150 kilometres and presents you with an alternative route in order to avoid the traffic event.

A special menu function lists all the current traffic events in the area and even sorts them by distance or event.

To see which countries TMC is available in, please visit the TMC website.

Voice Recognition lets you give voice commands to control a number of navigation, Bluetooth and audio functions.

This technology can recognise and accept words in conversational speech, by filtering out any unnecessary sounds and phrases, so you don’t have to memorise a list of preset commands.

Countries where the address input by voice is available:
• Holland (in Dutch)
• France (in French)
• Germany (in German)
• UK (in English)
• Italy (in Italian)
• Spain (in Spanish)

Voice recognition functions other than address input work with the listed 6 languages independent of country; for example, in Belgium you can use Dutch or French for hands free call by voice.

Always be guided - no matter if you're listening to music, the radio or your passengers are watching a film on optional screens. Once you input your destination, our Sat Nav systems will continue guiding you, no matter the source.

Bluetooth is an industrial specification that provides a way to connect and exchange information between devices such as mobile phones, PCs, printers, digital music devices and game consoles over a secure, globally unlicensed short-range radio frequency.

Bluetooth offers you the convenience of true wireless in car communication, without having to hook up your Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone to any other hands-free kit, headgear or earpiece.

All the models in our Bluetooth range include a microphone.

Match the button and display illumination with your car’s interior. Our NavGate systems all feature a full RGB (Red, Green and Blue) colour palette, so you can customise and match the system illumination as you like.

Good sat nav systems depend on a multitude of information from a number of sources; not just GPS signals.

The 3D Gyro Sensor, which connects to the Speedpulse wire of your car, allows the system to take measurements in three directions: height (up or down), speed (distance) and direction (left or right), as well as calculate inclines, and detect distinctive road features such as tunnels, to pinpoint your driving position with the highest possible level of accuracy.

It’s particularly important, for example, when your GPS signal is hindered; when you’re driving through a tunnel or are parked in an underground parking lot. Because there are multiple sensors, our system always knows where you are.

You and your passengers can enjoy different AV sources at the same time.

For example, whilst you and the front passenger listen to the radio and use the navigation system, the rear seat passengers can watch a DVD or TV.

Text-to-Speech Capability (TTS) audibly announces city names on your journey.

This makes following directions easier, as you can clearly understand the voice guidance instructions when real place names are used.

This feature is available in 13 languages including:

• English • German • French • Dutch • Flemish • Spanish • Italian

• Danish • Swedish • Norwegian • Portuguese • Russian • Polish
