By Geolife Ltd, PRNEMonday, January 25, 2010
Turn by Turn Personal Navigation Made Simple for Nigerian iPhone Users
LONDON, January 26 - Telecgsm Ltd and Geolife UK Ltd today announced the
availability of the first turn-by-turn mobile navigation application, Navmii,
for the iPhone 3G & 3GS in Nigeria.
Navmii transforms the Apple iPhone into a voice and visual
guided navigation system with detailed maps of Nigeria, covering over 30
cities. The first turn-by-turn satellite navigation software available for
Nigeria, Navmii makes navigation on the iPhone incredibly simple. Users can
search for an address by city, street or junction with Navmii's address
input, or select a point on a map. Navmii then calculates the best route to
the destination, and automatically reroutes if you miss a turning.
Peter Atalla, CEO of Navmii said: "This is the first mobile
navigation solution specifically created for the Nigerian market. Nigeria is
a country that has fully embraced mobile phones and Navmii for the iPhone is
a great opportunity to expand the capability of the mobile handset into
navigation and location services. Navmii is available on other mobile phones
too, including Nokia and Windows Mobile. Nigeria and Africa is a hugely
exciting market, we are proud to be at the forefront of this market."
Foluke Oyeleye, the CEO of Telecgsm, said "Navmii raises the
bar in value added services to the customers in Nigeria's telecoms industry
and expands the use of navigation features on phones, as more people are
bound to use this exciting service." Speaking further, Foluke noted "Telecgsm
is best positioned for this pioneering project as we have the required
experience, knowledge and distribution network to make Navmii succeed in the
Nigerian and African markets where Telecgsm plays a key role in the
telecommunications industry."
With maps of Nigeria all stored on the iPhone, Navmii is able
to locate and then navigate to thousands of included Points of Interest
(POI). Users can browse the map by dragging or scrolling the screen, see a
clear overview of the route, and obtain accurate travel information including
Time of Arrival and Distance to Destination. The new Detour feature even
allows Navmii to recalculate a route around road blocks or traffic
congestion; ensuring travelers safely get to where they are going every time.
Future versions of Navmii will include family and car tracking capabilities
direct from the handset

Finding customer specific requirements has long been a challenge. In fact, a survey of current automotive suppliers found that a significant number did not know where to go for the latest applicable customer specific requirements. For registrars and end users, this represents a serious problem. How can rules be followed and enforced if they are not readily available? It is with these challenges in mind customerspecifics.com was created. Here you will find a community to access, share, and discuss customer specific requirements. Please understand that the content of this site will take some time to develop as we work hand in hand with each of you to build a comprehensive database of the thousands of available customer specific requirements. We ask that you join us in our cause as we attempt to build something great for the common benefit of the quality community. |

It is safe to say that nearly everything about managing customer specific requirements is a hassle. If you’re an auditor, how do you know what customer specific requirements exist so that you can audit against them? If you’re the customer, how do you distribute them efficiently? If you’re a supplier, how do you get them? How do you know if you have the latest version? Customerspecifics.com was founded as a way of improving the management of customer specific requirements for registrars and quality personnel. The idea started when a member was surprised to find that his revision of a customer specific requirement had become obsolete just days before his audit, resulting in a finding. Really? These are the issues that customerspecifics.com is attempting to solve. We thank each of our users for your valuable document submissions and welcome any and all feedback. We look forward to hearing from you! D. Matthew Morris |
