Revo series separated from the navigation display


Becker's new navigation system that revolutionized record-breaking 7 millimeters thin, is on the clever construction: The alleged Navi only fit the display. The GPS receiver and the software has moved the United navigation daughter in his revo-series into an adapter between the display and Navigation mount. The one hand provides for a thinner display before turning onto necessities reduced design: interfaces on the edge need not revo. On the other hand, the actual navigation, keeping them constantly in the car and can look even before the start of the journey to a GPS signal or traffic reports Download - at least when you mount and charger in the car leaves.

Becker calls "ProActive starter": The navigation system learns over time, usually when the user moves while. After a few weeks the Navi then know how typical trips, commuting to work or the closing time at the sports club program and the user without asking the right route to propose - a bit like in the mobile operating system Android Jelly Bean wizard built Google Now. Because the actual Navi remains with the holder in the car, it may this have to do before departure: If you drive every day at 8 clock to work, the navigation device a few minutes previously a GPS fix, calculates the route to work and gets the one relevant traffic information. So ought waiting longer in the position to remedy the when the car was not used for a longer time, be passé. If it works not with the automatic as well, can also manually set the preliminary search on weekdays-and time-dependent.

For desired functions, the remaining electronics in the car every now and wake up to check for new information. The power consumption will be minimal while. Thus the navigation at constant cables attached to the power port, the starter battery unnecessarily discharged, the charging circuit on the voltage at the socket tell if the ignition is off - and charges the battery out then Navi. Interfaces such as a connection for reversing cameras and Bluetooth module to connect to smartphones stuck in the adapter.


Another remarkable innovation is the capacitive multi-touch 5-inch display - most navigation devices use pressure-sensitive display. Above it was the unit in an initial attempt at the IFA in Berlin serve well when it when zooming in the map rather jerky.

Becker has also revised its navigation interface somewhat and added some additional functions such as dynamic lane guidance, which while driving in some places superimposes a 3D animation of the road layout with lanes. Including free map updates (up to three per year) must be activated for the lifetime of the unit, which observe to within the first 30 days after the start of the Becker-PC software.

The revo-series is for the Christmas season come on the market and is located priced in the premium segment: the version with European maps for car navigation (revo.1) is expected to cost about 350 euros, the version with additional information for campers and trucks (revo .2) Euro about 400.
