Ipod Touch GPS App

Ipod Touch GPS

Ipod Touch GPS – Geolife and PosiMotion just announced a turn-by-turn navigation app which is submitted to the Apple App Store. It is currently pending approval but when it gets the green light it will be the first GPS navigation app solely designed for the iPod touch.

The way it works is that it uses PosiMotion’s G-Fi mobile network/GPS router and the GPS navigation software from Geolife’s Navmii. The app can turn any iPod touch into a personal navigation device with smart routing, interactive maps and spoken directions.

G-Fi currently costs $99, and the Navmii iPhone application will be available for £30 for UK maps and $40 for US maps. A combined G-Fi mobile network/GPS router and Navmii software application for iPod touch will also be available once the Navmii application has been approved by Apple.

Navmii GPS navigation app for the iPhone have also been submitted to the Apple App Store. See the video after the jump…

iPod Touch GPS Route Trick

Video of how it Works!

My wife and I went on a trip the other day that wasn’t too far away so I decided to look up directions on my Touch. Little did I know I discovered a trick that most of you probably know but I just found it out.

If you seek directions from one place to the next, view in satellite or hybrid, or just plain, and click through each turn while connected to WIFI and let it clarify, it will remember it!

I didn’t think it would work, and it did take a minute to click through each part of the trip to let it load, but it was well worth the wait with a sort of GPS like feature without being connected to GPS or the internets.

Just a little tip for all those travelers who are limited by Verizons unfortunate pride with their red programming on all of the phones.
