Geolife and PosiMotion has announced a turn-by-turn navigation application, which is submitted to Apple App Store for approval. Once approved, it will be the first satellite navigation app exclusively designed for iPods.
It is said to utilize PosiMotion’s G-Fi mobile network or GPS router and Geolife’s Navmii GPS navigation software. G-Fi costs 99$ and Navmii will be available for 30£ for UK maps and 40$ for US maps. The app can turn any iPod into a personal navigation device, incorporated with all sat nav features including smart routing, spoken direction and interactive maps.
A blend of G-Fi mobile network and Navmii software application will be also available once Navmii application has been approved by Apple. New iPhone 3.0 operating system has been released just few months back and there are already a list of GPS navigation applications available, with many yet to be released. These include TeleNav, Navigon, TomTom, Gokivo, iGO My Way and so on.

Nice post.Keep up with the good information!
Thanks for the heads up about this new forthcoming nav app. It will be interesting to see who wins the “nav app wars”. I just heard that Google is planning to launch their own free nav app for use with the new Android phone. Evidently they are using their own maps.
We’ll just have to wait and see if these apps, and the phone network infastructure that support them, will overtake the standard and more reliable (for now) portable GPS systems.
