Smartnav Mobile now on smartphones
Smartnav Mobile is now available on all the most popular smartphones including iPhone, Nokia and BlackBerry as well as all Windows-based GPS mobiles. This all-in-one solution means you get the most efficient satellite navigation and live traffic information service available, supported by Trafficmaster’s unique team of Personal Assistants, operating 24/7, on one personal comms device.
It is already recognised as the next generation in portable sat nav technology having just won the 2009 BusinessCar Techie Award for Best Handheld Satnav. Smartnav Mobile is also recommended by the AA, the UK biggest motoring organisation with 15million members.
Simple to download and easy to use, Smartnav Mobile uses real-time traffic data and road speed records to keep drivers on the best available route, at any given time and an immediate alternative is downloaded to the phone if traffic conditions change.
Just enter an address or postcode on the phone’s screen and within a minute the route will be loaded, providing clear turn-by-turn and audio directions. Or call the Trafficmaster Personal Assistants, who will find your destination and download the route to your phone and can also provide assistance in a breakdown or emergency.
“Smartnav Mobile is quite simply one of the most significant developments in portable satnav technology for many years,” said John Lawrence, Sales & Marketing Director, Trafficmaster plc. “Putting it on the leading smartphones makes Smartnav Mobile readily available as both a business and lifestyle application and will help motorists save time, fuel and mileage by keeping them on the best route at all times, avoiding congestion and unnecessary delays.
“We are currently developing a range of additional business and travel services for Smartnav Mobile that will complement other applications on all these smartphones. These include our Safe Speed camera alerts; live traffic alerts to incidents or delays and a unique international rescue service, able to help travellers in difficulty across Europe with a locally based, but English-speaking advice and support service.
“Future development plans also include Smartnav Mobile services providing easy access to information on flights, public transport and major events as well as destination details such as local fuel prices; nearest ATMs or hotels and our On Demand Business Mileage reporting system.”
The Smartnav Mobile software is available to download from trafficmaster.co.uk/mobile with a no obligation 30-day free trial. After that you can take out a monthly or annual subscription. Subscription charges are £3.99 per month or £24.99 per year. Personal Assistant calls cost up to 59p per minute.
