Wi-Fi meets GPS, and Navizon for Pocket PC appears! September 15, 2005 [Wireless (Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, ...)] | By Edward J. R. What will you get when you combine Wi-Fi with GPS in a program for Pocket PC and related service? You will get several things, among others: possibility to find your location on the basis of Wi-Fi hot-spots, also if you don't have GPS! All Pocket PC devices are Wi-Fi capable and in 2-3 months first MS Smartphone devices with built-in Wi-Fi are coming... so we hope that this application will be ported also to MS Smartphone! Symbian phones can't do it! Navizon is a software-only wireless positioning system that triangulates signals broadcasted from Wi-Fi access points and Cellular towers to help the users find their way in most major metropolitan areas worldwide. The Navizon network is based on a collaborative database. Members with a GPS device can use Navizon to map the Wi-Fi and cellular landscape in their neighborhoods. Once they synchronize their data, it is made available to all the other users of the network. This way, users who don't have a GPS device can benefit from a positioning system. And it's free for personal use! The power of sharing applied to GPS. Navizon works on any Pocket PC equipped with Wi-Fi and/or cellular phone (GSM) Easy as 1-2-3! Download Navizon [...] register to the network by creating your own profile and follow the instructions provided by [...] installation wizard. Once this is done, you are ready to go!
