Launch of Mobile Geo Beta Test Program, Free Licenses on Offer
Code Factory invites blind and visually impaired users of Windows Mobile-based 
devices to join the beta team for its upcoming GPS navigation software powered 
by technology from Sendero.
Terrassa (Barcelona), May 23, 2008
Code Factory, the global leader in mobile accessibility solutions, today 
announces the launch of the beta testing program for its highly anticipated GPS 
navigation application for Windows Mobile Smartphones, Pocket PC phones and 
Pocket PC PDAs, Mobile Geo. Following the announcement of Code Factory's 
partnership with the Sendero Group, the award-winning developer of GPS 
solutions for people with a visual impairment, Code Factory now invites users 
of Mobile Speak for Pocket PCs and Mobile Speak for Windows Mobile Smartphones 
to play a vital role in the last phase of the development of the first version 
of Mobile Geo and get a license for free.

With Mobile Geo, Code Factory will set a new standard for navigation solutions. 
Mobile Geo is:

  a.. The first GPS solution for the blind to run on hundreds of mainstream 
devices powered by Windows Mobile versions 5.0, 6.0, and 6.1, including both 
GSM and CDMA mobile phones as well as personal digital assistants 
  b.. An application activated by Code Factory's User-Centered Licensing system 
which allows the user to transfer a Mobile Geo license to another device on the 
same platform anytime. 
  c.. A powerful add-on to Code Factory's leading screen readers for Windows 
Mobile, providing speech output in more than 20 languages and Braille output on 
more than 15 supported Braille devices. 
  d.. A unique solution that can be accessed using numeric or QWERTY keyboards 
integrated with the mobile device, external Braille or QWERTY keyboards, and 
the Pocket PC touch screen. 
  e.. An application that can run in the background but still provide route 
information, allowing the user to check email, read a book, surf the internet, 
or listen to music while using the GPS navigation system.
 

Here are just some of the extraordinary features of Mobile Geo:

  a.. It is available with map data for different countries including the USA, 
Canada, the UK and Ireland, Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Austria, the 
Netherlands, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, South Africa, Australia, and the 
Singapore/Malaysia/Hong Kong region. 
  b.. Its main screen presents the most important GPS information, including 
current position and heading, nearest points of interest (POIs) and 
intersections, number of satellites tracked and quality of GPS signal, upcoming 
turns and waypoints, current speed and distance traveled, and much more. 
  c.. It has functions that allow you to enter an address, select a POI or 
virtual position, or set map coordinates as the origin or destination, and it 
can automatically create pedestrian and motorist routes from your current GPS 
position to a specified location. 
  d.. It lets you follow a route in real-time or study it virtually, and 
navigate route information by turn, waypoint, POI, street, virtual position, 
etc. 
  e.. Upcoming maneuvers and waypoints are announced automatically as you 
follow a route, and you can review a history of Mobile Geo notifications and 
announcements anytime. 
  f.. You can save the current route, load one from user favorites, reverse the 
selected route, recalculate route information based on current position, and 
cancel the active route. 
  g.. It offers a way to virtually look around your immediate surroundings for 
nearby POIs, street addresses, intersections and more, as well as to find out 
the details about these points on the map.
