NCC Launches Goodyear-branded Commercial Vehicle GPS Navigation System
The NCC has announced their new line of officially-licensed Goodyear-branded GPS navigation units at the upcoming SEMA automotive trade show in Las Vegas. There are four different models wichi are diiferentiated by their cost and these are GY130 & GY135 which are at the low end and are quite affordable, and the mid-range GY140 & GY145, will utilize such industry-leading features as NAVTEQ maps, turn-by-turn navigation, text to speech (GY135 and GY145 only), and an exclusive "LookAhead Button" feature to make entering an address faster than on competing units.
According to Barry Rosenstock, VP of Operations for The NCC
"One of our most exciting new features is the LookAhead Button, which makes address entry a breeze. As I type, the system knows to show me the most likely options based on city or street popularity and size. Bottom line - I can enter a street or city in two or three screen taps instead of ten."
He also said that "Today's GPS systems realize when you miss a turn, but then make you wait while a progress bar shows 'rerouting' or 'recalculating. In the meantime, you could miss your next turn and not even know it. Our system doesn't DO recalculations. When you miss a turn, it's already prepared with an alternate route, without missing a beat -- or an exit."
There is also a feature called INSTANT Rerouting, which utilizes a constant, proactive analysis of all possible routes within a one mile radius to instantly calculate new directions when a user changes their route. This feature, which will be exclusive to Goodyear GPS products, prevents the system from having to "recalculate" when a turn is missed.
Although no deatils about the pricing is availablr, from all indications the device will be competitively priced and will be made available in anticipation of the holiday shopping season.
