video that features advanced functionality of the V7 NAV740. �One
of our primary goals is to create popular, original programming for
emerging markets such as IPTV and other mobile devices,� said
Charles Overton, president and managing director of Media One
Direct. �Media One Direct was chosen to develop and produce the
promo and tutorials for Ingram Micro because our production staff
at Illusion Digital Studio has years of experience developing and
producing this type of content.� Utilizing the NAV740�s video
player capabilities, these new videos can be installed onto the
system for quick access by the user as a refresher on the rich set
of features that come standard on the product. Initially, the

can easily add the full set of training videos along with a range
of picture, music and video content. The videos can also be
accessed online at http://video.v7support.com. �Ingram Micro is
excited to offer and highlight these new video tools,� said Jeffrey
Friederichs, senior manager for global marketing and North American
sales for Ingram Micro�s global private label division. �Clearly
communicating the advanced capabilities assists with the purchasing
process, but more importantly, accelerating the learning curve on
accessing these advanced capabilities will enrich the user
experience, promoting higher customer satisfaction.� The V7 NAV740
has won numerous awards for its design and functionality from media
outlets including PC Magazine, Hardware Geeks and Laptop Magazine.
The NAV740 is a touch-screen enabled PND with an easy-to-use,
intuitive graphical user interface and turn-by-turn, text-to-speech
capabilities (e.g., turn left on Broadway) that allow users to see
and hear how to get to their destination. Other premium features

400MHz CPU for faster map redraws, enhanced AV capabilities, SD
