NEW YORK, NY — (Marketwired) — 12/10/13 — skobbler (), the premier provider and leading innovator of mobile map-based solutions using OpenStreetMap data, today launched GPS Navigation, a completely new version of the worldwide bestselling GPS Navigation app, that is optimized for iOS 7. GPS Navigation builds upon the company-s already impressive feature repertoire with the inclusion of an intuitive travel guide, hyperlocal search, and breakthrough mapping technology provided by skobbler-s groundbreaking, one-of-a-kind NGx map engine. Interested iOS users can download this newly redesigned standout navigation, mapping and travel resource for $ by visiting here: .
Powered entirely by data from the OpenStreetMap — a free and editable map of the world built by over 1 million voluntary contributors and map enthusiasts — GPS Navigation is the only mapping and navigation solution on iOS that delivers true “hybrid” functionality, allowing users to switch between online or optional offline access through in-app purchases of downloadable maps, regardless of location or cellular connection. Paired with skobbler-s newly revamped, one-of-a-kind NGx map engine — arguably the most advanced mapping technology on the planet — GPS Navigation provides users with the core functions any user craves from a mobile mapping service through fluid, reliable and high-performance map implementation under any circumstances, online or offline.
Offline functionality — which is unlimited upon the purchase of downloadable maps — allows for fast and reliable results using only a device-s GPS receiver rather than a network connection, meaning turn-by-turn navigation, alternate routing and various search capabilities are provided in full without a data connection.
In addition to its top-notch mapping flexibility and detail, GPS Navigation now also features comprehensive in-app travel guide and hyperlocal search via Wikitravel — which provides users with over 90,000 pages of worldwide travel information in the English language alone — and TripAdvisor integrations, meaning users can always stay in tune with their surroundings.
Much like GPS Navigation-s online-offline mapping functionality, users can also access travel guide information with or without internet connectivity, thus allowing them full access to the app-s robust travel features without expensive roaming charges by opting for offline usage. Simply download the entries of interest and have them available whenever, wherever, regardless of a WiFi or data access. Users can also look forward to enhanced map and point-of-interest detail, updated street name appearance and multiple map styles — perfect for viewing outdoors or at different periods throughout the day — in addition to a brand new app aesthetic specifically for iOS 7.
GPS Navigation is available for a one-time purchase of $ via the iTunes App Store. Users will also receive frequent updates for free. No subscription required.
