sbNavi

sbNavi is SBOING's collaborative, crowd-sourced GPS navigation app

• Uses custom maps, based on the free and open maps of OpenStreetMap (OSM, www.openstreetmap.org).

• Adaptive and self-improving, due to its collaborative and crowd-sourcing nature,

• By utilizing historical traffic data, it leads to more accurate routing decisions, compared to existing commercial PNAs,

which are based on static traffic information (i.e. the speed limit of each road),

• Distinguishes and provides better time estimates, depending on the type of vehicle (e.g., pedestrian, fast / slow

motorcycle, fast / slow car, truck, bus, taxi), weather and corresponding road conditions (sun, rain, snow, etc.), time-of-day,

day-of-the-week, holiday and season-of-year,

• It has an inherent, independent mechanism: a) to produce new maps (for uncharted areas), and b) to self-update existing maps

(crowd sourcing support by entering user input about road hazards, police blocks, traffic lights, traffic signs, POIs, favorites,

road network changes, etc.)

• High usability with most of its functionality achieved with 1-2 user clicks

• Multiple, user-defined views using user-defined macros (a unique feature)

• High user-configurability (configuration menu, map style/colors, POI layers, favorites categories, vehicle choice, day/night

mode, etc.)

• Route simulation mode

• Dashboard with two digital screens and one with analog gauges

• 2D and 3D map viewing with pan, zoom, and rotate functionality, with continuous varying 3D viewing angle (tilt)

• "Lock on driver's view" functionality

• User routes can be recorded and recorded routes can be managed, securely up-loaded to SBOING, sent by email and replayed (on

the smartphone, on a PC, or via Google Earth)

• Searching: a) by free text search, b) in Favorites, c) in POIs, d) by coordinates, e) by proximity

• Easy definition of multi-waypoint lists

• Multi-waypoint (multi-legged) routing

• Multi-lingual support for text and voice guidance

• Able to accommodate the maps of the entire planet in a single memory card

• Adaptive and compatible with a plethora of PNAs and smartphones,

• Uses strong security (strong encryption) in all data uploads carried out by the user, thus ensuring the confidentiality of

its private information.

• In-app version upgrades and support for promotion upgrades.
