Navmii - Turn-by-Turn Nav For The iPod Touch Approved by Apple
Article by: Darren
Date: 10 Nov 2009
 The world's first turn-by-turn navigation app for the iPod touch has been approved by Apple and is now available for download from the iTunes App Store for £29.99.
 GeoLife and PosiMotion have launched their joint project, Navmii, which contains UK maps and brings voice guided navigation to the iPod touch.
US maps are expected in the next couple of weeks with Europe following shortly after.
To use with an iPod Touch, Navmii requires pairing with a PosiMotion G-Fi, the world's first mobile network/GPS router which claims to increase GPS accuracy for the iPhone 3G and 3GS.
The G-Fi is a unique device which can provide GPS position data to up to 200 devices connected to it simultaneously.
And one feature worth shouting about, Navmii uses the PocketGPSWorld safety camera database!

The app is available now in itunes. The G-Fi unit is $99 while stocks last.
It also apparently has PocketGPS World camera Database - you guys snuck that one in quietly!

Whats the frequency of the camera database updates when using this app? also what format does it use and is it possible to update weekly using a download if running a JB iPhone? - Mike

I've updated the announcement and the 'Read More' link with screen-shots and the news that it uses our database.
I don't know as yet what format the data is, we supply direct to Navmii but I will ask about update frequency etc.

Out of curiousity, is this the only iPhone SatNav product that has the PGW database?

We have many irons in the fire, some come to fruition, others don't but I;d certainly hope Navmii is not the only one in time.

Hi there,
Does anyone know if the additional peripheral will be on sale in the UK?
Also in a similar vain, does anyone know if the Tomtom cradle with additional GPS will ever work with the 1st gen touch?
Regards
