I currently have at work, four in vehicle hard wired units in conjunction with MDT's.

These are tracked in NZ via online OnlineAVL via Telecom at the moment.

I was looking to expand this into overseas units and was looking into options to do this.

I tried all the NZ numbers for Navman ie web site, CHCH phone book, and they all appear disconnected?????

Anyone got a local contact for Navman, just so I can see if the best option is to just expand what I have currently, or build new technology into my overseas units???

Cheers

Alex

I believe they have seperated into 3 different companies and now have some offshore parts to their business, their main offices are in still in Northcote, Auckland

A couple of years ago Navman was sold to Brunswick, an American company. Earlier this year the company was sold again to Mitac. Just today there's a press release that Mitac will rename its Mio business to Navman. I am going to post this soon.

In any case, Navman is based in Auckland.
