Case Study: a European design bureau achieves Android-based GPS navigation and communication with Promwad

European Design Bureau launches a 5-inch Android GPS navigator in 24h discovery with Promwad

The European Design Bureau, a manufacturer of navigation modules, required a turn-key solution to develop a sophisticated automotive device for GPS navigation and communication. They engaged the embedded engineering vendor Promwad to create a compact Android-powered navigator that would provide real-time traffic updates, hands-free calling, and support for 3G data networks.

Promwad delivered a complete solution, handling the hardware platform development, custom Android software, and the design of a durable aluminum and plastic enclosure. The resulting product featured a powerful ARM Cortex-A8 processor, a 5-inch touch screen, and a two-system GPS receiver that improved coverage in urban areas. This comprehensive development by Promwad provided the customer with a robust, feature-rich navigation and communication device ready for market.
