just perfectly integrated in your car. Its remarkable features include
excellent European mapping, a panoramic screen, the capacity to be
twinned with a mobile phone (via Blue Tooth) and exclusive contents
based on Michelin travel guides (MICHELIN® Guide and Green Guide).
Two screens in one! The
new ViaMichelin Navigation X-980T Europe features a 4.3 inch (10.9 cm)
panoramic screen, the maximum size currently available on the market.
But the real exclusivity resides in the double navigation screen, which
displays simultaneously the route you are taking and a 2D zoom-in focus
on the next turn. You can therefore see where you are on the map and, at the same time,
visualise exactly the lane into which you must turn. This double
display is inspired by the best navigation practices. If you sometimes
had doubts on changing direction, perhaps at roundabouts, any ambiguity
is now ruled out.
Optimal integration in your car
The
ViaMichelin Navigation X-980T Europe has been designed to fit perfectly
into your car with an easy to instal and remove car mounting stand and
an understated, elegant appearance. It also features a simplified
finger-tip menu and its function buttons are immediately visible on the
front. Above all, this PND has an 'intelligent' multipurpose stand.
Connected directly to the power cable, it allows you to automatically
recharge the PND battery. It also swivels and, thanks to its 3 Watt
integrated loud speaker, offers the highest sound quality on the
market. The integrated GPS antenna (SIRF Star III technology), for its
part, ensures GPS reception even through heat-reflective windscreens. Exceptional communicability for stress-free driving! The
second asset of the ViaMichelin Navigation X-980T Europe is its secure
hands-free phone function. Enjoy using its simplified mode of BlueTooth®. connection to mobile phones. After connecting the phone and activating the BlueTooth® function your X980T becomes a hands-free phone! Guiding
is available in 15 languages and what's more a text-to-speech feature
is available in 6 languages. This reads out street names, road signs
and traffic messages: the X980T tells you to 'turn right into Oxford
Street' (and no longer simply 'turn right!') or to 'head to Windsor'
(and not simply 'continue straight ahead!') The ViaMichelin Navigation
X-980T Europe is therefore extremely precise and most user-friendly. ViaMichelin
traffic information is given to you in real time with alerts on traffic
conditions and unforeseen road incidents: traffic jams, slow-moving
traffic, road works, contra-flow systems, weather alerts... A bypass
route is systematically proposed but never imposed. Fixed speed cameras are integrated in the X980 for France and Belgium and can be downloaded for other European countries. A unique Guide for made-to-measure trips! The
