Navfree Announces Compatibility with Pioneer's Appradio Platform
LONDON --(Business Wire)--
Navmii is proud to announce compatibility of its navigation app,
Navfree, with Pioneer's line of AppRadio™ in-dash receivers featuring
AppRadio™ Mode. The latest version of the popular free GPS navigation
app will be part of the app demonstrations in Pioneer's booth at the
2013 Consumer Electronics Show (CES (News - Alert)) and will be part of a select group
of apps that capture the innovative spirit of Pioneer's AppRadio™
platform.
Now with Integrated Google (News - Alert) Streetview, live parking information, dynamic
traffic overlays and Cyclops Safety Camera information - all accessible
via touchscreen on AppRadio™ Mode products - Navfree is deservedly
considered one of the best free mobile GPS apps available, with 11.8
million users as of January 2013
Commenting on the value of Navfree, Pioneer's Ronan McDonagh - General
Manager, Technology, Planning, Car Electronics Division, Pioneer Europe
said: "Navfree's hybrid solution of embedded and cloud-based
navigation is a unique and highly valued part of the Pioneer AppRadio
compatible app line-up."
Making Navfree highly compatible with Pioneer products signifies a new
direction for parent company Navmii, who will continue to offer great
value to its ever-growing user base, while pushing the boundaries of
automotive mobile products in 2013 and beyond.
Overseeing Navmii's automotive division is sales and marketing
heavyweight Breandan Mac Ferran - former Sales Director Europe, Middle
East and Asia for the world's leading computer input device
manufacturer, Logitech (News - Alert), where sales grew from 16 million to 600 million
during his 14 years there.
Commenting on his role at Navfree, Mac Ferran said: "Navmii
revolutionises the consumer's driving experience by taking mobile
technology even further into the vehicle. Working with the world's top
automotive manufacturers enables Navmii to develop and release new
groundbreaking applications that will give drivers complete control of
non-intrusive information when they need it most. I am personally
delighted to be involved with these projects at a time when the rest of
the world seems to be standing still."
