GuidePoint Systems, the company that is known as a GPS-based telematic service provider to vehicle owners and fleet managers, has released a free Android app, allowing users to gain access to a variety of location-based services including stolen vehicle recovery, driving directions, emergency help and other assistance.
The application, which is already available for the iPhone, relies on the built-in GPS receiver to deliver phone’s exact location to Guidepoint. Once activated, users can set up an online account with Guidepoint and access services with just a few touches.
In a nutshell, if you and/or your company are using GuidePoint and you happen to own an Android-powered smartphone, you’ll want to grab GuidePoint’s application. God forbid you ever need it, but it’s good to have it available at your fingertips, just in case something happens.
Interested? Search for “guidepoint” in the Android Market and take it from there. It’s free and it can only benefit you — that’s again in case you do rely on their solution.

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
