Paresh Nagda Joins Navman Wireless As VP/Research & Development And Chief Technical Officer

GLENVIEW, Ill.--(Business Wire)--
Navman Wireless, a global leader in GPS-based fleet tracking and
management solutions, today announced that Paresh Nagda has joined the
company as its Vice President of Research & Development and Chief
Technical Officer. A twenty year veteran of the software industry and
with specialties in fleet tracking and database development, Paresh is
expected to build on the company's historic strength in R&D,
implementing a number of operational initiatives in 2008 and beyond.

   Paresh comes to Navman Wireless from @Road unit of Trimble, one of
the largest U.S. fleet tracking and management systems companies,
where he was vice president of mobile resource management software
products. In his position Paresh lead design and development of
multiple commercial and enterprise software products, as well as
assembled engineering and QA teams in the U.S. and India.

   Prior to his eight-year tenure with @Road, Paresh was a software
development manager and senior architect for database management
systems leader Informix, now a part of IBM. Paresh has also served as
a senior consultant and architect for IMC Agribusiness, and has owned
and operated his own IT consulting business.

   "Paresh Nagda played a key role in helping @Road grow from an
early-stage tracking solutions company to a market leader in mobile
resource management solutions. His tenacious and open-minded approach
to GPS tracking innovation will be a great asset to Navman Wireless,"
said TJ Chung, chief executive officer of Navman Wireless. "I'm
confident that Paresh will be instrumental in further strengthening
our product development activities, and in establishing Navman
Wireless as the undisputed technology leader in our industry."

   One of Paresh's initial objectives will be to establish an R&D
presence among California's Silicon Valley high-tech community. The
company intends to open a full R&D facility in the San Francisco Bay
later this year in order to take advantage of the region's wealth of
research talent.

   "Navman Wireless has taken a number of steps in the past year to
position itself for significant growth, beginning with its
privately-funded acquisition from Brunswick Corporation in 2007,"
Paresh said. "Its renewed focus on fleet management technology,
combined with its emphasis on R&D and product innovation, positions it
well to gain both market share and a broad new range of customers
around the world."

   Paresh earned a B.S. in Electrical Engineering at the University
of Mumbai. A resident of Pleasanton, California, he will continue to
work from Silicon Valley.
