Magellan And AAA/CAA Renew Partnership

GPS personal navigation device maker Magellan and the American Automobile Association (AAA) announced mid-September the renewal of the companies' successful multi-year partnership. The extended partnership provides drivers with continued availability of AAA travel and automotive resources on Magellan RoadMate portable vehicle navigation devices. The companies also announce a new integration between the Magellan RoadMate Commercial 5190T navigation unit and AAA's D/2000 dispatch system.

All such personal navigation devices include AAA/CAA TourBook information which provides drivers with instant access to listings and descriptions of their Diamond-Rated restaurants and accommodations, as well as attractions, events, and campgrounds in the U.S. and Canada. Also included are Show Your Card & Save locations for member discounts and club-owned repair shops and AAA branch office locations.

If a vehicle requires roadside assistance, motorists can access the GPS unit to identify the location of the vehicle and obtain the necessary information required to request roadside assistance. Call operators then apply the location data to dispatch service. Through the partnership, members also save on the purchase of Magellan personal navigation devices, accessories, and map updates.
