>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 <http://www.senderogroup.com/>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:
>· 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
>· 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.
>· 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.
>· 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.
>· 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:
>. 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.
>. 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.
>. 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.
>. 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.
>. 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.
>. 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.
>. 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.
