Sony Ericsson selects Gokivo Navigator from Tele Communication Systems

To provide users with access to hyper-local search and navigation service

By CBR Staff Writer

Tele Communication Systems said that it will be powering the new turn-by-turn navigation on the Sony Ericsson Aspen smartphone with the Gokivo Navigator application preloaded, providing users with immediate access to hyper-local search and navigation service.

The navigation functions integrate with Sony Ericsson’s ‘On the Road’ panel, and users are able to press a ‘maps’ button to automatically launch Gokivo Navigator and provide immediate access to a voice-guided turn-by-turn navigation experience.

According to the Tele Communication Systems, the Gokivo Navigator includes the features such as local search; traffic and weather; and share your location. The navigator displays the current weather and weekly forecast information for any location and highlights any local traffic incidents with a view of the incident report details.

In addition, the share their location feature provides users the option to send a message to another mobile device with a geo-coded place. The message will allow the recipient to see a map or a route that shows them how to get to the original location.
