We want to show our customers just what is possible with the right technology at their fingertips.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rossouw said the team\u2019s coach could remotely monitor the riders to ensure they train and perform optimally. \u201cThis is a great feature as they are usually scattered all around the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Besides retail and service centres in Johannesburg, Pretoria, Cape Town and Durban, NavWorld also have an online store that delivers countrywide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFrom the most basic fitness watch to the more sophisticated multi-sport unit, we truly cater for every adventure,\u201d said Rossouw.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports and adventure technology retailer NavWorld have announced a three-year partnership with one of South Africa\u2019s top women\u2019s cycling teams.
