while the car was in motion. The statement urged GPS manufacturers to be responsible for educating new users.
Response Canela drafted a statement in support of the DGT’s call for consumer education and responsible use of GPS devices, highlighting Mio
devices’ safety features. Mio commissioned a journalist to write a Guide for Safe Use of Navigation Devices and published it on their website. Canela developed a press release using the Safe Navigation Guide as a reference, that was distributed two weeks before Easter, when
Spanish roadways experience especially high traffic volume. Canela, in conjunction with Catalunya Ràdio, organised a product giveaway promoting the Safe Navigation Guide in eleven of the station's
programmes, in the week leading up to Easter.

business title. Coverage was generated in the daily national, automotive, IT and online press about the safety issue
