iPhone and Whereis® tell Australians where to go

Danielle | 25 June 2009

daniPhone users who have been waiting for Apple to release a turn-by-turn navigation product needn’t wait any longer – this week the first Australian turn-by-turn, voice guided navigation application for the iPhone was launched and our very own Whereis® is the sole mapping provider for Australia and NZ maps.

The international navigation company Sygic, who launched the iPhone application, chose to partner with Whereis® to supply the navigational data.

Called Sygic Mobile Maps Australia, it’s available now via iTunes for AU$79.99. Sygic Mobile Maps Australia for the iPhone features all the usual ‘bells and whistles’ courtesy of the comprehensive Whereis® mapping data set, including turn-by-turn voice guidance, automatic re-routing, lane guidance and speed limit info, as well as red light and speed cameras.

The partnership between Sygic and Whereis® is an exciting announcement and a step in the right direction to ensuring more Australians have easy access to a quality navigation experience across a range of devices.

Both Whereis® and Sygic share the ambition of bringing the best navigation experience to Australian consumers, so the partnership was a no brainer for both parties.

In media news this week, Sygic said they were pleased to partner with Australia’s leading mapping provider, Whereis®, given their confidence in the ability of Whereis® to bring Australian customers the most accurate, rich and up to date map data and content in the country.
