Ready 50 and Active 50 - new GPS-navigators from Becker
The new Becker navigation devices will premiere at IFA 2011 in Berlin in September. Ready 50 and Becker Active 50 were equipped with five-inch screens and new software.
One of the novelties is an interactive driver assistant that analyzes his behavior on the road and guesses his needs at a given stage of the journey, and then on this basis helps to find useful functions that the user may not know about or be able to. activate while driving. For example, if the driver deviates from the planned route, the device will tell him where, for example, the nearest gas station or restaurant is located. However, when it arrives at its destination, it will suggest the nearest parking space. The user can accept the new offer or refuse it. The system works in real time and complements the TMC traffic obstruction news service. “We wanted to create software that would serve as an additional source of information for drivers, as well as actively support inexperienced users,” said Dr. Frank Mair, Managing Director of United Navigation. Becker SituationScan is designed to make it easy to use all the functionality of the device.

TMC's traffic news channel has become one of the most important navigational features, and it can be indispensable during your morning commute or weekend outing. HQ TMC was created jointly with the German telematics company Avanteq. It consists of a long-range FM receiver, a flexible antenna and Supertune technology, which analyzes the location and distance between transmitters and, based on the collected data, connects to those that guarantee the best reception. As a result, the device always has the maximum range and receives up-to-date TMC information in real time.
The new main menu is made in the popular Aero style with translucent glass windows. At the center of the main menu is a Becker BullEye map preview so that the user always knows where they are and can quickly jump to the full map view.
