UbiNav is an off board navigation service for GPS-equipped BlackBerry devices. UbiNav allows users enjoy a full-featured car and pedestrian navigation experience from their mobile device with turn-by-turn route guidance and voice instructions.
Off-board Navigation: how it works.
Off-board navigation is a server based service: street data are stored on a central server, without using mobile device’s memory space and always providing up to date maps.
UbiNav connects to server, using the BlackBerry data service, only when a new route is requested by the user . After the route has been downloaded UbiNav disconnects from the server and manages navigation in local mode.
A proprietary technology for data optimization allows to download a 100 km route in 3 seconds.
