Navmii is a new GPS navigation software, intended for use on iPhone/iPad, which has recently been accepted in the AppStore. The application offers a whole series of options at very low prices, practically the application has a starting price of €3.99 depending on the country for which you buy it. Navmii offers voice guidance, turn-by-turn directions, automatic recalculation of the route, and the maps are saved in the application, so you don't need to be connected to the Internet to view them.
Here are the functions of Navmii:
- Google and Microsoft Bing Local search: a superb addition to the built-in POI database. Find millions of shops, cafes, restaurants and hotels wherever you are and navigate directly there;
- Searching and navigating to city centers, street names and numbers, crossings, favorite places, recent locations, nearby POIs from local database or Google/Bing internet search. Call found places directly from Navmii;
- Background music play: Listen to your favorite songs while navigating with Navmii. Music volume will be faded out while giving you a driving instruction;
- Designed for ease of use, no need for lengthy manuals;
- Complete mobile navigation – the same experience as your PND on your mobile device;
- Navmii turn by turn route guidance engine is designed to give accurate route prompts right in time. Also we don't like navigation systems which talk too much and disturb you from driving or discussing the day with your kids... for your safety and pleasure;
- You can always browse the map and get more information about any street or POI. It also enables you to route instantly by holding down any point on the map display and clicking 'route'. Great when you don't have the full address of where you are trying to get to;
- Navmii features one of the best map rendering engines on the market. It means you get clear, easy-to-read maps with easy-to-read street names, route numbers and POI icons;
- Navmii Safety camera database is updated weekly. Accurate and intelligent warnings allow you to enjoy safe driving. You can choose between audio or visual warnings or have both;
- Landscape or Portrait orientation support;
- Multi-touch capability: For scrolling through menus or zooming in and out on a map. Traditional map zooming is supported as well;
- Instant route re-calculation if you miss a turn;
- Simplified view for safer driving at higher speeds: displays the next turn, street name, route number and speed limit to let you concentrate on driving;
- Automatic Day & Night mode: maps are automatically switched to low glare maps for safer night driving.
The developers say that application it works as well as any other professional navigation software, the only difference being the extremely low price of the Navmii application. For now there is no version with maps for Romania, but as soon as it appears I will let you know. I don't know how good the application is, but if any of you test it, please leave a comment with your impressions.
