Personal Navigation Phone: GSM + GPS

Benefon Esc! Personal Navigation Phone is a revolutionary communication instrument you’ll never get lost with. It guides you and shows all necessary information for getting from one place to another ­ no matter if you’re in the wilds or in the city, inside or outside GSM coverage. Benefon Esc! Is equipped with a Global Positioning System (GPS) navigator and maps, which can be used in the mountains, on the sea, or in the city.

Benefon Esc! Is also a high class GSM dual-band phone with brilliant features and advanced technology. The GSM radio is engineered to strict Benefon standards and ­ to resume connection as soon as possible ­ can be equipped with an optional cross-country antenna.

Benefon Esc! loves the outdoors as much as you do: it is water and shock resistant, and its casing is reinforced with stainless steel. And, despite being the complete survival pack of the contemporary nomad, the Benefon Esc! is extremely small and light-weight.
