Vancouver, BC (Vocus) June 4, 2009
Intrinsyc Software International, Inc. (TSX: ICS), a leading provider of software solutions for mobile devices, today announced the general availability of Destinator 9, a leader in cross-platform GPS navigation software. The newest version of Destinator delivers the mobile industry's highest quality user experience in navigation devices, with a host of new capabilities and features designed to get people to their destinations easily, quickly and safely. Destinator 9 is available for Android mobile phones, Microsoft Windows Mobile smart phones, Personal Navigation Devices (PNDs) and connected PNDs based on Microsoft Windows Embedded CE.
"Destinator 9 is the culmination of months of research and development directed towards one goal: making the user's navigation experience the very best in the world, whether you are driving in your car or walking around a city," said Souheil Gallouzi, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Mobile Products Development, Intrinsyc. "In addition to the new UI, we focused on connected navigation features, making it easier to seamlessly look up, find, and call businesses directly from the map screen, as well as to discover and display local POIs from Internet search engines."
Destinator 9 includes a host of new features and functions:
Destinator is an on-board navigation software solution, enabling the user to have superior navigation in areas of poor cellular coverage. With maps and POI data stored on a memory card, on-device storage is preserved for your personal content. Leveraging the power of a connected device, Destinator software can be periodically updated via a download over the Internet while local search and POI data can leverage an off-board content server for additional services. Benefits of this approach include higher map rendering performance, greater reliability and a significant cost savings for carriers and consumers. Map display is instantly and readily available on device memory, with no latency except for CPU processing power.
