Mobile Crossing, Sunnyvale, Calif., has announced significant upgrades to its WayPoint 100 and WayPoint 200 navigation systems, including national maps and numerous new software features,
improved user interface, increased performance and upgraded safety features.
The improvements represent the company's new top of the line for handheld navigation systems capable of being moved from one vehicle to another. These National Edition WayPoints can now self-install entire regions of the country at no charge.
"The great thing about the WayPoint is there is no need to install map loading software on your PC," said Calvin Chu, product manager for Mobile Crossing. "Customers unfamiliar with the latest technology are sometimes daunted by complicated software installation features. These devices have a built-in feature to download their own maps, which is a boon for frequent travelers."
WayPoint owners without an Internet connection may order a Map Loader CD for $5 or a Map Loader Card for $69. The capability for self-installation means mobile professionals may travel to new regions of the country without using a laptop installer for map changes.
Thanks to performance improvements, the new WayPoints can open, use and search much larger regions of the country than before. The increase in performance makes possible real-time proximity alerts. Proximity alerts are pop up messages that notify the driver of nearby points of interest such as gas stations and tourist sites. Another safety improvement includes a new text-to-speech module that reads street names aloud.
Mobile Crossing's products are available at retail outlets or on-line at www.mobilecrossing.com.
