New Garmin® StreetPilot® Onboard Navigation App for iPhone Provides Onboard Mapping and Routing
Garmin International Inc., a unit of Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), the global leader in satellite navigation, is proud to announce the Garmin StreetPilot Onboard App for iPhone is now available on the App Store. The Garmin StreetPilot Onboard App offers onboard mapping and navigation, giving drivers and travelers an unparalleled range of industry-leading options for efficient routing, effortless planning and stress-free touring wherever they may go.
"As the GPS world leader serving many markets, Garmin has always focused on offering a wide array of products and letting the consumer choose which bests fits their individual lifestyle,” said Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales. "Garmin’s StreetPilot Onboard navigation for iPhone perfectly complements our existing apps and our iconic line of nüvi® personal navigation devices.”
Garmin StreetPilot Onboard puts the vast preloaded database and intuitive interface of a Garmin nüvi into the iPhone you use everyday – without tapping into your dataplan. With ultra-fast map drawing, panning and zooming, the preloaded maps and Points of Interest offer peace of mind in knowing that wireless coverage and dataplan usage are not required to access maps or calculate routes. So just as with a nüvi, the maps and directions are always there when you need them most – especially when you can’t get cell or Wi-Fi signals or your dataplan is running low.
With advanced navigation features such as lane guidance, junction view, 3D buildings, trip planner, trip computer, Garmin’s "Where Am I?” safety feature, and red-light and speed camera information, Garmin StreetPilot Onboard provides crucial information that a driver needs for daily errands, weekend road trips or family vacations. Users can customize the data on the map screen to show information such as arrival time, time/distance to destination or next via point, direction of travel, or elevation. Searching for Points of Interest has never been easier as the main menu’s search bar and in-category Quick Search seamlessly scan preloaded POIs and provide shortcuts and suggestions based on recent searches. When you want to tap into your dataplan, Google Local Search can offer an open text search of Google POIs. For even more dynamic content, drivers can subscribe to traffic data and fuel-price information.
The following versions of the Garmin StreetPilot Onboard App are now available: U.S.A. (Lower 49 United States for $39.99); all of North America ($49.99); and UK & Ireland (£44.99). All are available from the App Store on iPhone or at www.apple.com/appstore/. Live traffic data and fuel-price information are available via subscription using In-App Purchase. Find details about each version – as well as Garmin’s other apps for a wide variety of activities – at http://garmin.com/apps.
