golf app on iPad by Terra Imaging
Feb 20, 2010 fitness, gps navigation, software
If you were waiting to see if they would make an iPad app for golfing you’re in luck. You may see the new 3D Golf Course Navigation System in a golf cart at your favorite golf course soon. Developers say the beautiful screen and the compact size make the new iPad perfect for golf carts (we agree!)
What’s interesting is that they decided to add an external Leica GPS antenna to the iPad even though iPad itself carries an A-GPS receiver. This could be for several reasons though. First, Terra Imaging probably plan on using their 3D golf course mapping software on iPad with WiFi only (which we know won’t have GPS), second they’re partners with Leica and just need a reason to use their hardware, and third maybe they actually just need a more powerful GPS receiver.

Verizon launches VZ Navigator 5.0; still wants to charge for it
Feb 3, 2010 gps navigation, phones, software
VZ Navigator seems to be well and kicking but for how long? Verizon does have a huge customer base but soon they’re all going to look around and realize everyone else is getting this service free. But hey, at least they have some extra features that you don’t get with Google Maps or Nokia’s Ovi Maps which are both free.
VZ Navigator 5.0’s biggest catchy feature seems to be the Facebook integration which lets you update your status via the application and optionally share your location with them – making it yet easier for your stalkers to track you down. There are some other enhanced features with this version too such as crowd sourcing of traffic information, voice recognition for search and destination, and quicker navigation start due to streaming of data.
Here is the bad part: VZ Navigator costs $10/month, or $3/day. If you’re one of those customers who pay $10/month tell us your reasons please. Maybe your company is paying for it, maybe it is the only navigation app available on your phone.. Whatever it is, we want to know.
free promo codes for iPhone GPS navigation app from Kapten
Jan 29, 2010 GPS giveaways, gps navigation, phones, software
A few days ago we talked about the Kapten GPS navigation app for the iPhone. These Frenchies were so nice they wanted us to give our readers bunch of free promo codes. Lucky you guys.
The app is called Kapten for iPhone and promo code is good for the North American version only. The app normally goes for $8/month at the app store.
How Kapten is different than most other GPS navigation apps is that it is “multi-transport”. You can define your means for travel – in fact you can even start with driving and get the rest of the routing for on-foot. Not only that but the app is also good to be used for public transportation. Kapten for iPhone can do text-to-speech for spoken directions, 2D, 3D views, as well adaptive which changes angle and zoom level with speed, and switches automatically between landscape and portrait modes.
To participate you need to subscribe to our feed and leave a comment below with an email address. Also duplicate entries, emails, IP addresses will be disqualified.
We’ll close this article for comments in 10 days and after that we’ll announce the winners! Here is a hint! We have more than ten promo codes.
garmin software for golfers
Jan 28, 2010 fitness, garmin, gps navigation, software, tracking
Garmin has a new stat-tracking software for their handheld GPS device for golfers – Approach G5. It is a free upgrade for G5 owners and it helps you keep track of fairways hit, greens hit in regulation, putts per round and how far they hit each club.
How does it work? Well, after every tee shot, Approach G5 asks if you hit the fairway. It also gives you the option of measuring how far you hit every shot. If you’re crazy about stats you can also put in which club you used to get an average for that club later on. You have to enter your score for each hole, and your presented with the option to tally your putts per round and the number of greens you hit in regulation.
