Public Beta Mobile Geo 2.0, Now Available
Compatible with Mobile Speak 4.0 and Running Sendero GPS 6.2
Terrassa (Barcelona), Spain, January 28, 2010
Public beta version 2.0 of Mobile Geo, Code Factory's award-winning GPS
navigation
aid for the blind and visually impaired, is now available for download and
purchase.
Public beta Mobile Geo 2.0 is compatible with the highly anticipated Mobile
Speak
4.0 as well as the latest version of the Sendero Group's GPS technology, SDK
6.2.
"This upgrade of Geo is the first part of version 2.0. For us, there were
two priorities:
first to integrate the new Sendero SDK and updated maps as soon as possible;
and,
second to launch Mobile Geo 2.0 at the same time as Mobile Speak 4.0 so that
none
of our users would be left without their inseparable GPS" explains Eduard
Sánchez,
Code Factory's CEO. "We decided to launch version 2.0 as a public beta
because we
are still testing and making improvements. Therefore the public beta means
that in
the next couple of months we will release several free updates. For example
we already
can announce that we will include more Top Ten demanded features such as
manual route
creation, new verbosity settings, new ways to organize and manage favorites,
address
search by zip/postal codes, and more".
This first part of public beta Mobile Geo 2.0 includes new features which
improve
the Geo navigation experience, such as:
Advanced address search which allows you to enter any part of the address to
search
for it faster.
Five times faster route creation when in Turns Only mode.
More accurate distances and estimated time of arrival calculations.
Improved heading averaging when walking in a big city with narrow streets
and high
buildings.
More information about the current street when using the where am I
function, such
as pedestrian only, split street, one-way, bridge, tunnel, etc.
Ability to look up alpha numeric address numbers. For example 23A Jones
Street where
23A is the address number.
Another great benefit from public beta Mobile Geo 2.0 is the updated 2009
maps and
POIs as well as new map bundles. If you are living in one of the countries
included
in a map bundle, you will receive free maps for all the other countries
which are
part of the same bundle.
European Map Bundle
 includes maps from Austria, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany,
Ireland,
Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Northern Ireland, Norway, Poland, Portugal,
Spain,
Switzerland, Turkey, and the United Kingdom.
North American Map Bundle
includes maps from United States, Canada, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico
and Guam.
Asian Map Bundle includes maps from Hong Kong, Singapore, and Malaysia.
South African Map Bundle includes maps from South Africa, Lesotho and
Swaziland.
Since Mobile Geo 1.5, new countries have also been added, such as Lesotho,
Luxembourg,
Mexico, Poland, Turkey, South Africa, and Swaziland.
Public beta Mobile Geo 2.0 supports the same new devices as Mobile Speak 4.0
for
Windows Mobile. Among the newly supported devices you will find the HTC
Touch Pro
2, HTC Touch 2, HTC Touch Diamond 2, AT&T Titl 2, AT&T Pure, AT&T HP iPAQ
