ROCHESTER, MI--(Marketwire - November 21, 2007) - The Maylong Group, an emerging leader in easy
to use, high quality, personnel GPS navigation products, announces the
successful product launch of its GPS Navigation For Dummies FD-350 device
on the Home Shopping Network (HSN).
During the Home Shopping Network kickoff earlier this month, the FD-350
made its world premier on the Home Shopping Network. The FD-350 is a
state-of-art, feature packed, consumer navigation device using GPS. David
Valade, President of the Maylong Group, stated, "We were extremely pleased
with the sales performance of our FD-350 during the telecast. It confirms
that the consumers are looking for ease of use in a GPS navigation device."
He continued, "Our success was certainly due in part to a great partnership
between Home Shopping Network and the Maylong Group. Based on the inventory
sellout on HSN, company officials expect GPS for Dummies to be one of the
hotter selling GPS systems on the market this holiday shopping season."
GPS Navigation For Dummies was designed by the Maylong Group and Wiley
Publishing, Inc. to be the world's most user friendly interface, the
easiest and most intuitive PND on the market! It has a large (3.5") color
touch screen and easy to use For Dummies icons easily guide you through
the device. Other features of the FD-350 include over 4.5 million points of
interest, text-to-speech pronouncing actual street names and mapping for
the US, Canada and Puerto Rico.
"The foundation of the For Dummies brand is in helping consumers tackle new
technology and to ensure they get the most from that technology," noted
John Hislop, Associate Director for Licensing at Wiley. "We are very
excited about our partnership with the Maylong Group. After many months of
hard work it is very gratifying to see the product in the marketplace and
off to such a great start. We look forward to building many years of shared
success and continuing to bring the world's best and easiest to use PNDs to
the market place."
