Navigator 7 – TomTom’s Navigational Software for Smart Phones
June 27, 2009
Are you ready to convert your smart and high end phone into a dedicated navigational unit. Then all you need to do is get the Navigator 7 software from TomTom installed on your unit. This navigational software provides you with tried and trusted TomTom experience, hence leaving a lasting impression as far as navigation is concerned. This software can either be downloaded into your unit directly at a charge of £35 or get a microSD card with the software pre-installed in it for £90.
The Navigator 7 consists of Map Share Technology that includes the maps of entire Western Europe, which allows you to make your own map corrections as well as view and access the corrections made other TomTom users on a daily basis. Corrections include editing the names of streets, add any missing poi, reverse the direction of traffic, block or unblock any street, etc. This facility is available absolutely free of charge. Its Help Me menu aids you in finding the local emergency service data at any given point of time. This guide can provide you with information regarding hospitals, roadside assistance or local emergency services.
Another feature offered by this Navigator 7 software is the ability of the navigational and route information to remain visible while you are either making or receiving calls. You can view the route information in pedestrian or 2D format for having a better idea of the road or street. To enable you to focus better on your driving and concentrate more on the road, it comes with clear spoken instructions along with visual directions. As it supports many European languages, you can opt for a language of your choice.
This software recommends driving breaks, reminds you of road rules and regulations, alerts you when approaching places of worship or schools as well as about unpaved roads. For further safety, it alerts you about the upcoming safety cameras occurring en-route. Also it warns you whenever you exceed the specified speed limit, hence preventing you from being pulled over for speeding issues.
With this software installed in your phone, your unit gets a clear overview of the density of traffic along with a choice of alternative route in case of congestions. It includes a wide range of preloaded points of interest that can withhold additional information such as the appropriate phone numbers and descriptions. You can test your planned route before you are out to set for on it. The Navigator 7 software provides you access to the TomTom home service, that gives you the permission to download the latest software, maps as well as access free content from the TomTom community along with subscribing to their services.
Furthermore, you are entitled to receive the up-to-date information about the safety cameras, traffic congestions and weather. You can also locate your buddies on the maps and send them free message as well as share your favourite locations. With so many functions incorporated on the gadget, your Windows based smart phone works like a dedicated sat nav unit rather than a phone.
