Mopar offers a Garmin-built GPS automotive navigation system as a dealer-installed option specifically designed for many of its 2005-2007 models. Named the Navus, the system is available for vehicles including the popular Chrysler 300C, Dodge Magnum, Charger, Dakota, Durango and the Jeep Grand Cherokee. The Navus provides premium automotive navigation capabilities -- including pre-loaded maps, an easy-to-use touchscreen interface and a high- resolution color TFT display, automatic route calculation, and turn-by-turn voice-prompted directions -- at a price that is significantly less than most built-in systems.

It is estimated that Dealers will be able to install the Navus in less than 30 minutes. The Navus is connected directly into the vehicle's bus interface, allowing it to interact seamlessly with other vehicle systems such as lighting and ignition control. The unit is incorporated atop the dashboard in clear view of the driver and passengers - providing a look and feel that that complements the interior of the automobile. If GPS signals are temporarily lost (due to skyscrapers or mountainous terrain), the system provides dead reckoning capabilities to assist in navigation.

Buyers can choose pre-installed regional map data at a value price, or opt for comprehensive pre-installed map data of the U.S., Canada, and Puerto Rico on a single compact flash memory card. Each region features thousands of points of interest -- including lodging, restaurants, attractions, ATMs, gas stations, and nearby Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep dealers and service facilities.

Features:

Automotive grade, high-resolution 8-bit TFT color touchscreen interface that's easy to see in day or night

Turn-by-turn voice prompted directions with high-quality audio

Calculates shortest or fastest routes to addresses or points of interest

Automatically recalculates a route if the driver misses a turn

Drivers can tell Navus to avoid areas of construction or traffic tie-ups

Navus will build a route with multiple stops -- ideal for sales calls, deliveries, or errands

Connected directly into the automotive bus interface for seamless integration with other vehicle systems such as lighting and ignition

Dead reckoning capabilities assist navigation if GPS signal is temporarily lost

Optional remote control
