Navizon now available for the Motorola Q June 27, 2006 [MS Smartphone] | By Edward J. R. Navizon was designed mainly to provide location based on Wi-Fi access points, but it looks like it is extending to provide positioning based on cellular networks, so even Motorola Q that has no Wi-Fi at all, can now use the Navizon... * * * * * Mexens Technology announced the release of a new version of Navizon compatible with the Motorola Q. Navizon is the first positioning system that combines GPS, WiFi and Cellular Positioning The innovative Navizon software works by triangulating signal measurements from cellular towers and Wi-Fi access points. Once a map of the wireless landscape for a certain area has been created, Navizon uses this data to offer a software-only positioning system for wireless devices, completely independent of carriers. "The fact that Navizon is compatible with the popular Motorola Q will make our already popular wireless positioning technology available to an even broader audience," said Cyril Houri, founder of Mexens Technology. "We believe that this milestone is a big step towards the adoption of Location Based Services (LBS) by the mass market." In addition, Navizon adds revolutionary new features that allow members groundbreaking new ways of sharing information. These include the Local Search, Buddy Finder and the Geotag. - The Local Search allows users to find exactly what they need, right around where they are. Type ‘Starbucks’ for instance and Navizon will display all the Starbucks that are just around you. -- The Buddy Finder 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 businesses that want to track assets such as vehicles. -- The Geotags allows members to post any information based upon a specific geographic location. When other members will drive or walk nearby, they will be notified of this post and the information it contains. “The compatibility between Navizon and Motorola Q bridges the gap between consumers who simply utilize their hardware as a basic communication tool and those who are looking for a more comprehensive localized experience,” says Houri.
