Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
iPhone applications developer, Sygic, today launched what it says is the first Australian turn-by-turn voice guided navigation application for the iPhone.
In a partnership with Sensis mapping provider,
Whereis, Sygic says Australian iPhone users who download its mobile
maps 2009 Australia application from the Apple iTunes store will have
access to the map data and “content-rich navigation services” offered
by Whereis.
Whereis commercial manager, Fred Curtis, said today content available
via the new application will include more than 600,000 points of
interest, including content from Yellow Pages and UBD, and he says
Australian users will also have access to detailed information
including comprehensive speed and red light alerts.
“The partnership is a great step towards ensuring more Australians have
easy access to a quality navigation experience across a range of
devices. The launch of a navigation product like this on the iPhone is
an exciting advancement.”
The new iPhone app is available to Australian users from the iTunes App
Store from today, and Sygic’s PR manager, Anna Hurbanic, says all that
users will need to do is log onto the iTunes App Store, search for
“Sygic” and download the application.
“Sygic turns your iPhone into a navigation device that you always have
on you,” says Hurbanic, with the application on the market in Australia
for $79.99.
Hurbanic says the new navigation app can be used both in the car as
well as on a bicycle by just selecting the mode, and the system will
calculate the best route for you.
According to Sygic, the new app includes Whereis instant re-routing in
case you missed the turn, lane assistance, speed restrictions to help
you avoid speeding, information about school zones and other safety
alerts.
