Magellan GPS Receives 2012 CES Innovations Award

Magellan Wireless Back-up Camera Selected as an Innovations Design and Engineering Award Honoree in the In-Vehicle Accessories Product Category

SANTA CLARA, CA--Dec. 19, 2011: Magellan, a leading GPS brand, has been named an International CES Innovations 2012 Design and Engineering Award Honoree for its Wireless Back-up Camera. Products entered in this prestigious program are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, engineers and members of the media to honor outstanding design and engineering in cutting edge consumer electronics products across 32 product categories.

The Magellan Wireless Back-up Camera attaches to the vehicle's rear license plate and transmits images directly to one of several 7" Magellan GPS models transforming the display into a rear view monitor. When the car is put into reverse, the Magellan navigator will automatically switch from navigation mode to rear view mode, enabling drivers to view what is behind their car. The Back-up Camera has a wide-angle view lens with a 120-degree horizontal and 100-degree vertical viewing area – perfect for seeing children, pets, toys, and other vehicles.

"It is an honor to be recognized by the CES Innovations team for Magellan's Wireless Back-up Camera," said Mike Wagner, Associate VP of Product Marketing. "Magellan is committed to providing safety and security on the road, and we are proud to have that commitment and the Back-up Camera's technology recognized by a panel of judges of this caliber."

The prestigious Innovations Design and Engineering Awards have been recognizing achievements in product design and engineering since 1976. It is sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA)®, the producer of the International CES, the world's largest consumer technology tradeshow.

The Innovations Design and Engineering Showcase will feature honorees by product category in the Venetian Ballroom and will also be featured at CES Unveiled: The Official Press Event of the International CES on Sunday, January 8.
