NAVIGON Takes Off First: MobileNavigator Now Also Leads the Way on the iPhone Already in June
MEDIA RELEASE PR34981
HAMBURG, June 9 /PRNewswire-AsiaNet/ -
- To Turn the iPhone 3G and the Forthcoming iPhone 3G S into an Innovative Navigator, you Only Need
two "ingredients": the New Apple OS 3.0 Operating System and the MobileNavigator From NAVIGON. By
June iPhone Users Will be Able to Turn Their Phones Into a Handy, Convenient Navigation Device With the
Professional Software From NAVIGON for the First Time
Lunch break. Time to eat and a chance to send private emails, make phone calls and to relax listening to
songs from your own playlist. Now and again checking the status of online bidding, and taking a funny photo of
a colleague. One thing is for sure, there's hardly another smartphone on the market that makes multitasking so
much fun as the iPhone. And soon users will be able to have themselves navigated from the office to the new
Italian restaurant in town. All that's needed is an iPhone running on the new Apple OS 3.0 operating system -
and the MobileNavigator from NAVIGON.
Before the end of this month iPhone users will be able to kit out their smartphones with the professional
navigation software from App Stores across the globe. "With the new OS 3.0 operating system, Apple has
made the use of navigation software on the iPhone possible, and NAVIGON has quickly managed to adapt the
MobileNavigator software to the new firmware. The iPhone can now be transformed into a versatile, fully
functional navigator", quotes Egon Minar, CEO of NAVIGON AG.
Alternative in the App Store
When equipped with the MobileNavigator software, the iPhone 3G (with Apple OS 3.0 operating system)
and the iPhone 3G S guide their users safely to their destination - with updated map material and intelligent
navigation.
The package includes well-known functions such as Reality View Pro, Real Roadsign Pro, Lane Assistant
Pro, Speed Assistant, Day & Night Mode, amongst others, as well as the option of displaying POIs along the
route. With this range of functions, Mobile Navigator stands out from its competition on the market - also by
the fact that the typical user functions of the iPhone have been implemented seamlessly in order to make
navigation using the iPhone and NAVIGON software even more enjoyable. If you turn the iPhone 90 degrees,
then the display switches automatically from portrait to landscape view. As well as this automatic display
adjustment, and the intelligent address entry, there is also the option of navigating directly to an address from
saved contacts. If navigation is interrupted by a telephone call then navigation is resumed automatically after
the call has ended.
"This allows iPhone users to navigate wherever they are, whenever they want - conveniently and while on
the move," states Egon Minar.
Within this month MobileNavigator will be available in the international AppStore where iPhone users can
choose between various options. One option is the LITE Version available for free, with no active route
guidance, but with map material and the possibility to display POIs (points of interest) in the vicinity. Another
option is the full version, which navigates users quickly and reliably to their destination.
The prices for the full version will be released by the AppStore at the launch.
