Linden, Michigan – Directus Navigation today introduced the new TD40TOUCH rear-view mirror with touch screen GPS navigation, wireless Bluetooth functionality, and backup camera capability. 

Partnering with industry leaders Nav N Go and Tele Atlas, Directus Navigation is proud to deliver the TD40TOUCH with an exciting array of cutting-edge software features including: over 7 million POI’s (points of interest), amazing 3D terrain and landmark graphics, clear visual cues and precise voice instructions, in addition to Bluetooth hands-free phone capabilities with incoming caller ID on screen and automatic call answering.

“The TD40TOUCH GPS rear-view mirror is exactly what the market has been looking for,” said Frank Rogers, Chief Marketing Officer for Directus Navigation.  “Consumers are more interested in a simple built-in GPS system that doesn’t involve suction cups and dangling wires.”

“Nav N Go is excited to be launching its renowned 3D navigation on a rear-view mirror solution; a product we believe meets the growing need for road safety through instant visual access to navigation instructions,” added Jim Nardulli, Nav N Go’s Senior VP of Sales. “While Nav N Go’s software delivers up-to-date and reliable maps, multi-lingual voice guidance and fast route calculation, we believe Directus Navigation’s rear-view mirror provides the extra bit of safety that drivers are looking for by guaranteeing maximum attention on the road and mirrors.”
