Whereis® is now offering Australians three new ways to find their way around town – Whereis® fuel savings, Whereis® Navigator turn by turn instructions from the 1234 voice service and Whereis® Traffic.

Whereis® fuel savings
When it goes live on 17 August, Whereis® Fuel will take the guesswork out of finding cheap fuel.

The simple, new mobile application uses GPS data to help find the cheapest fuel nearby from Australia’s best source of fuel price information, MotorMouth.com.au. The fuel service adds to the existing suite of rich content already available through Whereis® Navigator which includes weather forecasts, traffic incident alerts and business searches via Yellow Pages®.

Mario Davoli, General Manager, Telstra Mobile Applications, said the Whereis® Navigator functionality means users can then opt to receive turn-by-turn, spoken directions from any location to help find the nearest and cheapest fuel supplier listed.

Sign up for a free, 7-day trial of Whereis® Navigator on compatible handsets* to take advantage of the full suite of GPS functions.

Easy as 1234
Dial 1234 on a Whereis® Navigator enabled handset and you can now receive turn-by turn spoken directions to Yellow™ and White Pages® listings anywhere across Australia.

Whereis® Navigator customers can now enjoy all the benefits of an in-car GPS via the new integrated mobile service.

Whereis® Navigator, Commercial Manager, Fred Curtis regards 1234 integration as a significant step towards seamless mobile navigation technology.

“The fact that it now only takes a quick phone call and single click on an SMS link for a Whereis® Navigator customer to be guided via spoken directions to one of thousands of locations across the country is a really exciting development,” he said

An added ‘send to a friend’ function allows for simple sharing of direction data via SMS.

Whereis® Traffic
Avoiding serious traffic jams and finding your way around major traffic incidents just got easier, with launch of Whereis® Navigator Traffic in Adelaide, Canberra and Perth.

The new feature launched initially in March in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane helps drivers choose the best route to their destination by re-directing them around high-impact traffic incidents.

Whereis® Navigator is available on a range of mobile handsets including a selection of Blackberry, iMate, Palm Treo, Samsung, HTC, Nokia and Sony Ericsson devices. For further information, customers can visit their local Telstra shop or dealer, www.telstra.com/navigator or call 13 22 00.
