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. The camera attaches to the vehicle's rear licence plate and transmits images directly to the high-resolution screen of a RoadMate 1700 or 9055 GPS device. 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.
