[ThinkFree]

SatNav Technologies has announced that they are now providing state of the art GPS turn-by-turn navigation software for all Symbian OS Mobile devices across the country. Users who purchase the software can install the navigation software on any of the Symbian OS phones. SatGuide on all Symbian handsets is set to satisfy the increased demand for user-friendly location based services, with an array of new functions.

Customers who wish to equip their Symbian mobile phones with navigation capabilities can easily install the SatGuide software on to their current mobile devices and instantly start navigating using the device to find correct routes, ATMs, Hospitals, Medicine shops, cinema halls and other locations across the country. Those who do not have a GPS-enabled phone, have the option of purchasing the GPS receiver separately. SatGuide is developed by using the Destinator GPS/navigation software provided by Intrinsyc Software International, Inc.


Users can navigate in over 25 cities of various states and position themselves with various points of interest provided throughout each city. The software is a one-time install unlike any of the 3-month trial packages offered. On installing the software, the users are to only pay for the map up-gradation, which is provided once every quarter. The maps are optimized on the appearance front as Day/Night modes, enhancing the viewing capabilities of the users irrespective of the time in the day. An additional feature of 2D and 3D mode is also available.

The software is priced at Rs. 1, 999 for all Symbian OS devices across the country.

I have used this software and its perty accurate, this software came bundled with my brothers ASUS P750. The navigation system is excellent but the maps needs more work. Any way its a good news for all symbian users .

Most phones come with a built in GPS receiver. If not , you can always use a external bluetooth GPS receiver.
