More patient Hungarian drivers will be able to get it at an even better price, as the Slovak map will be part of the iGO Eastern Europe map package that will be released in the spring.
The other main character of the event was the Mitac MIO 169 handheld computer developed specifically for navigation, which was presented by the Slovak distributor LCP Systems.

As our goal is to make advanced satellite navigation widely available, we have adapted the price for this. The device and software in one package is only 14 Sk (900 EUR). ” - said Martin Struhár, Managing Director of LCP Systems oz.
