Satellite navigation expert partners with Honda Access Europe N.V.
Garmin has been selected as the exclusive supplier of compact navigation devices to Honda Access Europe N.V. The customised units will be available for six different Honda models of vehicle including the Civic (3 door and 5 door), Accord Sedan, Accord Tourer and CR-V.
The unit is a custom product with features that are specifically designed to complement Honda vehicles. It contains a preloaded Honda database so drivers can always find their nearest dealership and has a custom dash board attachment with an integrated power supply. There is a unique mount for each vehicle dash board, which means no visible wiring and when the navigation device is removed, a matching cap discretely hides the mount.
The design is based on the popular Garmin nuvi 360 which combines slim- line, portable casing with European mapping, Bluetooth wireless capabilities and a wealth of extra features. In addition the unit has a MP3 player, audio book player and picture viewer.
The units will be supplied by Honda Access Europe N.V. and offered in dealerships across Europe.
"We are delighted to continue our excellent relationship with Honda Access Europe N.V. enabling Honda customers to use the latest Garmin satellite navigation," says Garmin's Director of OEM & Mobile Marketing, Roger Jollis. "This is an ideal accessory to enable drivers to navigate across Europe with ease. The partnership we have with Honda Access Europe N.V. reinforces our ability to provide bespoke solutions to the automotive sector."
