GPS producer Navman offers its Revolve system.

As part of the annual People’s Eco-Rally, celebrity enthusiasts Quentin Wilson, Lisa Rogers and Robert Llewellyn, will join members of the public to drive from Brighton to London in the greenest way they can.

Promoting economical and greener driving, Navman has pledged the S90i GPS device to each of the eco-rally vehicles taking part, assisting them in arriving via the most efficient route.

The five greenest driver’s competitors will win the device to keep for themselves.

Navman GPS devices offer TeleAtlas maps, with 100% street network coverage for all major European countries.

With the S90i’s onboard camera, competitors will be able to take geo-tagged Navpix of their journey along the way and upload to the Navpix library - making it even easier to share their experience with the world.
