AvMap has designed for Citroën a tailor-made holder which allows integrating in the Citroën C1 dashboard a Geosat 6 portable navigator. “We have pioneered in portable car navigation back in 1994, and today we are offering to car manufacturers hybrid solutions which ensure the best and safest positioning of the PND inside the car without any annoying cable nor suction cup limiting the visibility”, stated Simone Lazzarini, AvMap Managing Director.

This deal follows several similar contracts with leading automotive brands such as Peugeot Automobili Italia and Portugal, Mitsubishi Brazil, and Citroën Italy. To avoid the pitfall of the dropping prices on the PND market sold at retail, AvMap has been concentrating its activities in these automotive deals in order to sustain its margins.

“The Persian Gulf day was marked on the national calendar during the previous president’s term in office, but no effort has been made to protect the Persian Gulf’s identity in recent years,” head of the Prominent Architects Society of Iran, Alireza Qahari told reporters.

“The waterway will be registered on Iran’s Spiritual Heritage list on the national Persian Gulf day on April 31, 2009,” he added.

“Unfortunately our hesitation in such activities has always caused others to lay claim to our national treasures therefore we must not allow the Persian Gulf to be registered as the Arab Gulf on the world list.”

Certain Persian Gulf littoral states have recently stepped up efforts to rename the waterway which historical documents show has always been the Persian Gulf.
