Navizon for MS Smartphone released February 22, 2006 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R. Since many MS Smartphone devices now support also Wi-Fi, it's good to see Navizon being released also for this platform (previously it was available for Pocket PC)! More information from Mexens Technology follows. * * * * * Navizon Announces Newest Version Available for Windows Smartphones Exciting New Positioning Software for Wireless Devices Continues to Add Enhancements as its Membership Continues to Grow Mexens Technology, creators of Navizon (http://www.navizon.com), today announced the launch of the newest version of the Navizon software for use with Windows Smartphones, cellular phones that run the Windows Mobile software. This revolutionary new version of Navizon offers an increased accuracy when using cellular signals for positioning. In addition to Windows smartphones, Navizon's software is also currently compatible with Windows-based Pocket PCs and cell phones using the Symbian operating system, and is free for non-commercial use. The innovative Navizon software works by triangulating signal measurements from cell towers and Wi-Fi access points. Once a map of the wireless landscape for a certain area has been created with a GPS device, members can sync this data and share it with the rest of the Navizon network, thereby allowing other users to enjoy a software-only positioning system with their wireless device, completely independent of carrier. "This new version of Navizon for Windows smartphones reaches out to a whole new branch of users," said Cyril Houri, founder of Navizon. "Our membership has doubled each month, creating a powerful network with members all over the world. We have people mapping their areas constantly all around the world. This shared information is at the very center of what makes Navizon a powerful tool." In addition, Navizon adds revolutionary new features that allow members groundbreaking new ways of sharing information. These include three innovative features: the Buddy Tracker, Local Search and Geotag. The Buddy Tracker allows members within a group to share their location with other group members on an opt-in basis. This feature has been extremely popular for individuals who wish to share their whereabouts with their loved ones. The Local Search feature allows users to search for specific entities within a specific geographical location. Members can search for the nearest cafe, shop or any other location they wish to find. The Geotag allows members to post information based upon a specific geographic location, such as a restaurant or business, thus creating the world's first geographically based blogging system. "Navizon has become a fantastic tool," said Houri. "With it, members are sharing information and data all over the world." Credit: Emily.
