It’s not just Apple’s ‘i’ devices which attract app developers, Android smartphones seemingly have a string of followers as well. The newest Android app dubbed NavFree UK transforms the user’s device into a complete satellite navigating system.
The app brings in turn-by-turn spoken directions and serves as expensive in-car GPS/satellite navigation at no cost. Providing address and point-of-interest search, it offers the journey distance and estimated time of arrival. It enables users to search with Google for a location and can be routed with complete voiced directions.
Peter Atalla, CEO of Navmii said, “Navfree has already been a huge success around the world, now we look forward to hundreds of thousands of Android phone owners joining us and enjoying the best fully featured, mobile satellite navigation around – all for no cost.”
It adheres to the social networking trend with instant sharing of position through SMS, email, Twitter and Facebook. NavFree has above 1.5 million users with 300,000 map updates. It can be procured for free during this month from Expansys.com.
