ROUTE 66 Mobile 7 for Nokia Series 60 Mobile Phones Launched in North America
ROUTE 66 today announces the launch of
ROUTE 66 Mobile 7, marking a new era in GPS satellite navigation using mobile
phones. ROUTE 66 Mobile 7 determines its position using an advanced high
sensitive wireless GPS receiver, guiding the user with turn-by-turn voice
instructions and on-screen directions to its destination. A new navigation
display has been developed providing users with all vital travel information
on a single clear screen of their mobile phone including 3D map display, turn
arrows and navigation guidance, as well as the ability to dial points of
interest directly from the map. In addition, ROUTE 66 Mobile 7 features the
very latest maps, driving directions enhanced with upcoming exit signs and
continued guidance when GPS reception is temporarily lost for example in
tunnels through ROUTE 66's new Extrapolated GPS (E-GPS) technology. In
summary, ROUTE 66 Mobile 7 is an ideal travel companion in the car, on your
bike or simply when you are walking.
ROUTE 66 Mobile 7 is available immediately. The Full Navigation Kit
contains all the maps for the US and Canada and is priced at US$ 299 / CAN$
349.
ROUTE 66 Mobile 7 eliminates the strain and stress of travel by:
-- providing users with a new navigation information bar which shows all
vital travel information at a glance, including estimated time of
arrival (ETA), remaining travel time, remaining travel distance, GPS
signal strength and street name indication
-- providing users with new pop-up alerts of upcoming turns
-- using a high sensitive wireless GPS receiver which quickly
re-establishes satellite connection following signal disruption when
driving through tunnels, allowing users to concentrate fully on driving
using ROUTE 66's new Extrapolated GPS (E-GPS) technology for GPS signal
extrapolation in tunnels and urban canyons
-- granting unlimited use of up-to-date map data to get users to their
destinations as quickly and efficiently as possible without any
subscription costs
-- allowing users to set acoustic and visual alerts to avoid breaking
speed limits in unknown areas
-- enabling users to use keypad shortcuts for immediate access to features
like 2D or 3D map display, night driving colours, latest voice
instruction and zooming in/out on the map
-- allowing users to select a wide range of languages for the user
interface and voice driving instructions including English, Czech,
Danish, Dutch, German, Greek, Finnish, French, Italian, Norwegian,
Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish and Swedish
-- automatically re-calculating the route if a turn is missed and
providing flexible travel options by selection of 1) the type of route
(shortest/fastest), 2) the means of transport (car/truck/pedestrian)
and 3) a virtually unlimited number of waypoints
-- allowing users to use SMS style text inputs to the FuzzySearch(TM)
address search engine, points of interest panel, contacts' addresses,
favourites and history
-- allowing users to make and receive telephone calls, identify points-of-
interest details, including telephone numbers, to enable reservation
bookings, this all at the touch of a button directly from the map
