- Navmii Software Bring Turn-by-Turn Navigation to iPod Touch and iPhone - Available Now From Apple iTunes for only GBP29.99 for UK Maps - Itunes link: tinyurl.com/yevkbw7
GeoLife Ltd and PosiMotion LLC today announced the availability of Navmii
personal turn-by-turn navigation for the iPod touch. The Navmii software,
combined with PosiMotion's G-Fi mobile network/GPS router, provides
turn-by-turn navigation in the iPod touch for the first time.
iPod touch owners with both the G-Fi hardware and Navmii software will be
able to use their iPod touch for satellite navigation with smart routing,
interactive maps and spoken directions.
PosiMotion's G-Fi streams a precise GPS signal to iPod touch. Like the
Navmii software, the G-Fi is a one-time cost, with no additional monthly
costs or charges. It supports the whole iPod touch and iPhone family,
providing GPS from one G-Fi to up to 200 Apple devices simultaneously when in
range. It also allows for data sharing and network multiplayer gaming between
Apple devices.
Peter Atalla, CEO of Navmii said: "At last more than 20
million iPod touch users, and many first generation iPhone owners can access
simple, accurate, turn-by-turn navigation on their favourite device.
Combining Geolife's Navmii with the PosiMotion's G-Fi brings secure personal
navigation to a whole new audience. Why buy an in-car solution SatNav when
you can simply add the functionality to your iPod touch or iPhone at a
fraction of the cost?"
Olivier Hennessy, President/CEO of PosiMotion said: "Navmii
powered by G-Fi creates the first real navigation solution that many iPod
touch owners desire. We are very proud to be working with GeoLife, one of the
most reputable navigation companies in the world, to bring the first
turn-by-turn navigation to the iPod touch."
Navmii is also available for iPhone 3G and 3GS from the Apple
iTunes App Store now.
