Guest Paul (MVP) Posted March 5, 2007 Report Share Posted March 5, 2007 [teaser]There's no doubt that sat nav on PDAs is big business nowadays. There's a multitude of different software providers now, networks themselves are getting in on the act, and more and more devices are sporting integrated GPS. Amongst the raft of possible solutions, my favourite is definitely iGo, with it's beautiful interface, wealth of features and above all great performance. Well... over at the homepage of the newly formed NavNGo, an announcement is online regarding their new products for CEBIT 2007, the most interesting of which is iGo 8. What's new? From NavNGo themselves... NavNGo iGO 8 - Navigation at a high standard level Excellent 3D view The graphics in the maps of NavNGo iGO are under constant development. Our software engineers have made significant progress in 3D rendering, so now our maps include shaded topographic elements and building models to provide an even more realistic view. We expect to have our navigation software display satellite images and aerial photos in the near future. A completely redesigned user interface NavNGo iGO has received a brand new user interface. Not only is it more attractive and fashionable, but it also has separate Basic and Expert modes. Basic is for beginners and even those with no technical knowledge can use it easily. The Expert mode, however, can satisfy even the most expert users with full customization and several colour schemes. Advanced POI management The advanced POI management of NavNGo iGO allows map data to be complemented with media materials. This offers unique opportunities, ranging from advertising to customized content services. Another fantastic improvement is that the software can now look for POIs along the planned route and even show how big a detour the selected destination means and how far it is. It even indicates entry and exit points for POIs with multiple access routes. Sounds pretty good right? Well, a picture paints a thousand words as they say, so let me leave you with a VGA screenshot from iGo 8... and let's all hope iGo 8 finds a UK distributor! ;) P [Edit: See it in action via YouTube below (after the jump for news page readers)] [/teaser] ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
