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.
To start driving more economically today follow these ‘Top Tips’ for greener driving.
1. Select the ‘most economical’ route when you programme your journey

3. If you take a wrong turn, GPS quickly re-routes to get you back on track
4. Navman POIs allow you to stop at the closest conveniences along your route
5. Voice guidance advises motorists when they’re within 10% of the speed limit – alerting them a more economical and legal driving speed
