The run up to CES always picks up speed in the second half of December when early award winners begin to be announced. Today Magellan, one of the leaders in the GPS market, announced that they have been named the winner of the CES Innovations 2012 Design and Engineering Award for their Magellan Wireless Back-up Camera.
Many cars today are beginning to come with this technology built-in, but if yours doesn’t Magellan makes it an easy retro-fit. The tiny wireless camera mounts to the car’s license plate and when the vehicle is put into reverse compatible Magellan GPS devices switch from navigation mode to camera view.
“Magellan is proud to announce it has been named an International CES Innovations 2012 Design and Engineering Award Honoree for its Wireless Back-up Camera. Sponsored by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA), the prestigious Innovations Design and Engineering Awards have been recognizing achievements in product design and engineering since 1976. Products in 32 categories are judged by a preeminent panel of independent industrial designers, engineers and members of the media.”
The Magellan Wireless Back-up Camera is available from the Magellan Store for $149.99. You can find out more about the CES Innovations Awards by visiting this page on the CES website.
