[gps-talkusers] Announcing the release of Mobile Geo

Code Factory and Sendero Group announce the release of Mobile Geo!

Davis, CA September 18, 2008
Sendero Group and Code Factory are pleased to announce the launch of Mobile Geo, GPS software for Windows Mobile devices for blind and visually impaired individuals. Mobile Geo is powered by Sendero GPS, so users of other Sendero GPS products will recognize many of the powerful features. For example, Mobile Geo can automatically calculate routes, announce information about your surroundings with Sendero's trademark "LookAround mode", create personal points of interest, and explore maps virtually. 

What is unique about Mobile Geo?
* Mobile Geo runs on an ever-increasing number of handheld wireless devices from manufacturers including AT&T Wireless, Sprint, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, HP, HTC, Motorola, Samsung, Dell, Palm and many more. * Mobile Geo is affordable and runs on low cost Windows phones. Combined with Mobile Speak, your phone becomes an accessible media center, note taker, personal information organizer, and your very own Geo navigator. * On Windows Mobile Standard Smartphones, Geo uses vibration alerts, based on Morse code, of the first letter of the event, to notify you of approaching turns, upcoming waypoint intersections, arrival at your destination, etc. * Geo is integrated with the phone's Contacts application, allowing you to select a contact and set the home/work address associated with it as your destination, starting point for a route, or to save it as a user-defined point of interest. * It gives you an easy way to call a restaurant, shop, school or any point of interest nearby, using your cell phone, by simply selecting that place from the extensive business database or your own list of user-defined POIs.
Mike May, CEO of Sendero says, "I have found a powerful synergy between our two nimble companies to create innovative products. We know that blind people deserve many options to suit a variety of needs and budgets. Mobile Geo is something I could only dream of when Charles LaPierre and I began working on accessible GPS in the mid 90's, and here it is!"
Eduard Sanchez CEO of Code Factory says, "Working with Sendero Group has been a very enriching experience. The challenge of putting together the efforts and know-how of Code Factory in accessible mobile phones, and Sendero Group's expertise in accessible GPS and talking maps, has been successfully met. Mobile Geo is its evidence."
