Available from late October 2008 onwards, the Navman S-Series Platinum is a 13.5mm metal-cased GPS unit that sports a new interface using Navteq maps, a scrollable ‘glide' touch screen, as well as easier search functions for faster navigation.

Navman's Marketing Director, Wendy Hammond said, "Navman invests heavily in research and development to create GPS units that are continually two steps ahead of the market. At the end of the day, it's about developing smart new technologies that are simple to use and make the lives of our customers easier."
"Navman is about much more than just telling people when to turn left and right, it's about making it easier for people to find where they want to go, to help them get there safely and then enable them to explore more about their destination," she says.

The Navman Platinum range includes clear 3D lane guidance with junction views appearing on the screen as you approach some major turn-offs, exits or intersections. The range also comes with 3D landmarks, orientating drivers to their surroundings. The company has also included premium alerts into the Platinum range, warning drivers as they approach school zones, speed cameras, railway crossings, and even accident black spots.
