Give the Gift of Getting There Safely and Efficiently with a Map Update from NAVTEQ

Gadgets, New posts, Travel, , ,

Do you want to give friends and family a gift that you know they won’t return or re-gift this year?  Look no further than a NAVTEQ in-dash navigation system map update.   Did you know that NAVTEQ is the company whose technology and maps power most of the in-dash navigation systems and GPS-powered devices in the US?

NAVTEQ in-dash map updates

Unfortunately my 2006 Nissan Quest is not equipped with in-dash navigation but chances are that if you, your friends, or family have an in-dash navigation system, it’s powered by NAVTEQ so giving them a NAVTEQ Map Update is a no-brainer.

Holidays = Travel, right?
Well, that doesn’t apply just to you or me.. It applies to millions of people who like to share the highways with us.  If you have kids and will be travelling.. between traffic, accidents, construction, and much needed ‘pit-stops’, you’ll be very grateful for your GPS system this year.  However, if your navigation maps aren’t updated your GPS system isn’t going to help you as much as it could if it was updated.

The world changes, so should your maps. You don’t want your family, your parents, or teenage kids to be stuck somewhere that you aren’t familiar with so it’s really important to have a GPS navigation system and NAVTEQ’s map updates make the perfect gift!

The holiday season is in full swing, which means a lot of running around and a lot of trying to figure what to get for that hard-to-shop-for loved one. A nav system map update from NAVTEQ can help save time when it comes to both of these issues. Whether store hopping to find that sold-out toy, or need to find a place to pick up a hostess gift on the way to the holiday party, an updated map will get you there.

Now that summer is over and the kids are back in school, I’m determined to be organized for the busiest time of year. Along with fall and winter come multiple holidays, social events, birthday parties and then as soon as you can catch your breath Christmas has come and gone. No more attaching return address labels on our family’s holiday cards until the wee hours. This year I plan to order a personalized return address stamp. I found these self-inking customized stamps that will be my new personal-izing assistant! Not only can these be used for return addresses, and look great on the back flap of an envelope I might add, but they can be used to personalize note cards as well. The personalized stamps from Three Designing Women (love the name!) are designed to personalize blank note cards, wine tags, gift tags, notepads and calling cards. You can also use these self-inking stamps with your own blank stationery or stickers. I love all of the unique designs and cute, modern note cards. They have something for classic tastes as well as modern design fans. The stamps are available at the Neiman Marcus website and you can also find coupon codes for Neiman’s here.
