Voice Navigator II was designed to maximize safety and ease of use. According to Elizabeth Mazzae of National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "Devices like head sets or voice-activated dialing may lead to longer dialing times than for hand-held phones but the delays offset the potential benefit of keeping both hands on the wheel."

"The ability to use your voice to make hands-free calls and get turn x turn directions in this all-in-one device will make this product unlike any other on the market today," said N. Douglas Pritt, NavStar Technologies president and CEO. "Four factors are paramount in our approach to personal navigation and hands-free calling:

Safety

Ease of use

Affordability

Product platform for new services

"These are features that customers have been requesting and we can provide at a price point that will appeal to the mass market."

Customers will use their Bluetooth handset to call the NavStar server and with their voice provide a limited amount of information as to their destination. A route will be downloaded to the NavStar device and turn x turn directions will be provided to the user's destination. Once the route is downloaded to the NavStar device the handset is available to make calls in a hands-free mode.

The Voice Navigator II is an innovative product and has a wide range of advanced yet easy-to-use features. The fact that a user's voice is used to initiate hands-free calls and to request turn x turn directions will make the device extremely safe to use. Additional unique features will be announced in the next few weeks.
