Navizon on Blackberry: GPS Not Required

Posted by Daily Wireless on April 30th, 2007 - 1:04 pm

Thanks to Navizon software, owners of Blackberries can now:

  • See where they are on a map and find their next
    destination
  • See the whereabouts of their friends or coworkers.
  • Search for businesses such as bars or restaurants near where they are.

A GPS device is not required. Navizon’s Virtual-GPS is able to triangulate your location on a map using WiFi and cell towers. It enables a myriad of Location Based services.

The new version of Navizon is also bundled with MGMaps, a powerful mobile mapping system working on any Java enabled phones. In addition to Blackberry, Navizon is also compatible with Windows Mobile and Symbian devices.

“The release of Navizon for Blackberry devices is a very important development for our community of users,” said Cyril Houri, Founder and CEO of Mexens Technology. “By supporting this new platform, Navizon is now accessible to a vast majority of smartphone and PDA owners, making Location-Based services on wireless handhelds a reality even for users who don’t have a GPS- enabled phone.”

Navizon is freely available for download from your wireless device. Navizon’s Virtual GPS is available for a free 15 day evaluation period and can be licensed for $24.99 after the trial’s expiration.
