Sygic’s AURA has some lofty aspirations for a Sat Nav – claiming 3D Maps, social networking, car and pedestrian nav, and voice guidance! Oh and don’t forget the TeleAtlas maps, POI, geo-tagging, and city guides!
“Our dream to build AURA has come true – three years of development has resulted in a product that completely differs from others on the market.” said Michal Stencl, CEO of Sygic. “We are happy to announce it now and here, in the world that asks: “What is the future of LBS?”. We simply trust it is AURA – one tool that combines navigation for pedestrians and drivers and lets users learn all about cities: where to go, where to stay and where to meet there. AURA keeps you on track whether your journey is by car or on foot, with the information you need at-hand, always available, without a mobile connection. Drive, walk and meet – AURA presents one incredible, beautiful package.”
AURA is designed for the next (current?) generation of smartphones and personal navigation devices such as the iPhone, Google Android, Windows Phone 7 and others.
But why take my word for it – check out the (impressive) official preview of the app running:
