New Australian GPS Navigation for iPhone

27-October-2010

advertisement ^

The new MetroView Australia Turn-By-Turn Navigation iPhone application features Australian-developed software, designed specifically for Australians!

Users can hear typical Australian streets and suburbs pronounced in an Australian accent (YAY!).

MetroView includes SpeedAlert which confirms current speed limits with visual and audible warnings. The SpeedAlert function cautions drivers if the vehicle is exceeding the speed limit, as well as alerting drivers of variable speed limits at different times of the day, such as school zones and on freeways (thank you!).

Additionally, the advanced lane guidance feature illustrates upcoming turns clearly and correctly for users to know which lane to be in at major junctions.

Equipped with more detailed maps than any other GPS application currently available, MetroView provides frequent map updates with a simple plug and play capability - receive notification, connect and install update. Map data is stored on the iPhone and as a result, there are no download costs for mapping or navigation. MetroView also incorporates individual house numbering based on the official Australian Government database - guaranteed to put the user at the doorstep of their destination,

MetroView has also added iPod music control, contacts search and comprehensive places of interest (POI) using Google Local Search, in addition to standard features such as familiar map design, analogue and digital speedometer views and walking mode including compass functionality on the iPhone 3GS. Power-packed and practically-priced, the MetroView Australia Turn-by-Turn application ensures an easier travel experience with an intuitive interface and no ongoing subscription costs.

MetroView has achieved a high 4.5 / 5 rating out of 3,000 units sold over a 3-month period.

How brilliant is that. It makes a mockery of all competitors.
