Seoul, South Korea – EnGIS Communications, a specialist in the creation of sophisticated, high-end navigational software, has launched the newest version of its popular Gogo Navigator USA & CAN app for iPhone and iPod touch. Version 1.2 of the popular app features real-time Live Traffic update capabilities; making Gogo Navigator – known for its rich and user-friendly interface – an even more powerful and user-tailored navigational tool.
Gogo Navigator USA & CAN has steadily placed in the top 50 of its category at the App Store – where version 1.2 is now available for $29.99 (USD). Live Traffic, powered by Clear Channel Total Traffic Network and now available for use with Gogo Navigator 1.2, provides up-to-the-minute, real-time traffic information including in-depth accident reports, lane closures and colored traffic flow speeds. Live Traffic can reroute users based on incoming accident information resulting in a more efficient and effective navigational experience for users.
With its turn-by-turn 3D navigation, text-to-speech (TTS) guidance, signpost display, and millions of places of interest, Gogo Navigator USA & CAN for iPhone, version 1.2, is now one of the most comprehensive, useful and affordable navigational tools of its kind to be found anywhere in the world. According to EnGIS Vice President Martin Carr, Gogo Navigator USA & CAN 1.2 is more than a product it is a testament to the growing importance of listening to and trusting feedback offered by users.
“Although Gogo Navigator was already a great product, the feedback we get from customers is a direct influence on our decision-making; we are 100 percent committed to listening to our community, interacting with them, hearing all of their suggestions – and getting it right for them,” said Carr. “That’s what we have done here, with Gogo Navigator 1.2. The users have spoken, and we have listened. We have updated this product with an amazing array of new features – including the availability of comprehensive and real-time traffic information. For anyone who wants to be up-to-speed when it comes to navigating the United States and Canada, Gogo Navigator 1.2 is, literally, all that you need. We are thankful for all the user input; it has helped us to craft one of the most convenient and reliable navigational tools in the world.”
Gogo Navigator USA & CAN, which has previously climbed as high as No. 37 in the App Store’s Navigation category, was already renowned for its OpenGL graphics technology – which allows for remarkable, deeply-textured 3D landmark display and visual imaging capacity. The app’s existing suite of features includes precision voice-guidance, advanced POI searching, auto zooming on intersection, speed limit warning, customizable fuel cost calculator and Integrated Navigation Guidance while music is playing (choose to mute or fade music during guidance). Gogo Navigator, version 1.2, does not require an internet connection (as map data is stored locally in the mobile device) and, as such, users are not required to pay additional connectivity fees for use.
