Wireless back-up camera for RoadMate

Magellan GPS has launched a back-up camera companion product for its RoadMate safety series car navigation units that will help drivers reverse and park more safely.

When the car is put into reverse, the GPS navigator will switch from map to rear-view mode, enabling drivers to view what is below the rear window.
