Trimble GuideWorx GPS outdoor navigation solution for GPS-enabled mobile phones
At CES 2007, Trimble has announced GuideWorx GPS an application that transforms a mobile phone into a powerful handheld GPS device specifically designed for both on- and off-road navigation.
The turn-by-turn on-road navigation system for GuideWorx GPS, developed with Networks In Motion’s NAVBuilder Developer Platform, allows users to retrieve maps and other useful travel data in real-time. To plan their off-road recreation, users can access a national database of points of interests while on-the go, and the free PC mapping software offers consumers the option to pre-plan trips that can be sent wirelessly to their GPS-enabled phone.
With the GuideWorx GPS application, consumers can fully leverage handset convergence by marking photos they take and audio clips they create with GPS location information while on-the-go. These multi-media journey records can be posted to an online community as a part of an automatically generated GPS-tracked travel log, and shared with friends and family using Trimble Outdoors’ PC planning software.
The GuideWorx GPS application is expected to be available in the first quarter of 2007 on select Sprint GPS-enabled mobile phones for $9.99 per month
