`
`3D GPS Navigation On Your BlackBerry
`
`by Ronen Halevy on July 8th, 2008 · 8 Comments
`Posted in News Utilities
`
`The guys at BlackBerryInsight spotted a new 3D navigation software called Navi2Go by
`3DVU. It almost looks like a GPS navigation program using Google Maps satellite view.
`The application looks pretty cool and has some pretty cool features though it is not
`encouraging when most of the screenshots have a hourglass on them:

`
`Their major struggling point is that they have priced themselves HIGHER than the
`already mature TeleNav. Navi2Go comes in 3 packages: $39 (3–months), $69 (6
`–months), and $120 (1–year). That is higher than the TeleNav package for $9.99 a
`month or $99 a year. This would have been an interesting contender if they just
`lowered their price. A nice perk is that the service is also available in the UK if you buy
`a UK plan.

`Great application!!
`
`It IS the same price as regular mapping navigation. Sprint is offering Navi2Go
`for $9.99 a month! Here’s the link –
`http://softwarestore.sprint.com/product.php?id=2369&cat=85 and Orange is
`selling it for 15 GBP for four months (comes out to $7.50 a month). Here’s the
`link – http://orangestore.cellmania.com/orange/applications.do?

`Navi2Go does NOT use Google Maps satellite view. 3DVU has nothing to do
`with Google. 3DVU uses its own proprietary technology. If you have any
`questions, please feel free to email me.
`Best,

`Man, I can’t imagine this app being even CLOSE to functional for automotive
`navigation unless these 3D visuals are somehow locally stored (on SD
`card???). Okay, “Mor” says they are unaffiliated with Google, but I’ve used
`Google Maps satellite view on my 3G Blackberry and it is painfully slow
`downloading satellite views. I can only IMAGINE how much worse it would be
`on an ATT or TMobile Blackberry where there is NO 3G available until Bold
`arrives. I’d have to do some serious trialing of this for me to believe in it, but
`since Verizon prevents me from using any GPS applications (unless I buy a
`external GPS puck) I guess it’s a no go for anyone but a Sprint Blackberry
`user.

`David is right. Navi2Go is offered on 3G devices:
`* World: 8800, 8820, 8830
`* Curve: 8310, 8330
`* Pearl: 8110, 8130
`
`No SD card is needed, only 3G network connection.
`
`Regarding the mention of cost, Navi2Go IS the SAME price as TeleNav.
`Sprint is offering Navi2Go to its customers for $9.99 a month. In the UK
`Orange is offering a four months service for 15 GBP.
`
`A free demo can be found at m.navi2go.com.

`
`Uhm, Mor, you DO of course realize that 8800, 8820, 8310, and 8110 are
`NOT 3G? They are EDGE only. There is no GSM 3G Blackberry until the
`Bold is released. If your application REQUIRES 3G data retrieval speeds,
`your application would be limited (in the USA) to Sprint customers, or Verizon
`customers who have purchased an external Bluetooth GPS puck. I’m not
`sure if BellMobility (Canada) or any other CDMA (Mexico and elsewhere)
`carriers restrict the 8130/8330/8830 GPS chip like Verizon does, or if it’s
`open for 3rd party app use like these devices have with Sprint.
`
`Maybe YOU as a application developer could lobby Verizon to remove their
`restriction on 3rd party app access to the GPS chip in their 8130/8330/8830!
` Otherwise we Verizon users would have to buy another piece of hardware
`to use your app.

`I went to m.navi2go.com to try the free demo from my Verizon 8830 running
`4.2.2.196 OS, and it says “Please open this page on your Mobile Browser”. I
`downloaded the software (WARNING, it is 1,446,648 bytes people!) OTA.
`Desktop downloads (zip file) are available if you want to go the Desktop
`Manager install route.
`
`Running the app prompts me enter a key, which I don’t have if I’m going to
`“demo” it, and the app shuts down for lacking a key. So I don’t seem to be
`able to “free demo” it.

`m.navi2go.com gives free demos for Windows Mobile, Symbian and
`BlackBerry devices. I went to my phone’s internet browser and typed the link
`(m.navi2go.com). For the Navi2Go demo for BlackBerry I emailed
`info@navi2go.com and got the public registration key: trial4u. That “free”s it.
