ROUTE 66 Mobile 7
Introduction
"ROUTE 66 Mobile 7" turns your Symbian smart phone all at a sudden into a powerful navigation system up
to house number accuracy! After a short plug & play installation, turn-by-turn voice instructions and onscreen directions will guide you from your current position to the destination that you have entered. You can
add any number of intermediate waypoints to your route that you may have selected from your personal
contacts, your favourites and your most recent destinations as well. If you miss a turn, then "ROUTE 66
Mobile 7" immediately recalculates your route. You can automatically download up-to-date traffic information
from the ROUTE 66 internet site via a GPRS* connection to your smart phone, even when you are on the
road. This non-stop FREE service helps you via dynamic routing to avoid traffic jams, road works or
accidents (in A/B/CH/D/DK/E/F/GB/I/N/NL/S).
What's more? You can display the map in night colours to keep a clear view on the road even when you are
driving at night or in bird view to display the map as you would see it if you could fly like a bird. In addition to
all this, you can navigate to any of the many points-of-interest like hotels, restaurants and petrol stations.
You can even dial them directly to make for example a hotel reservation or inquiry before going there!
In summary, "ROUTE 66 Mobile 7" is a must for everyone looking for an affordable, flexible and powerful
navigation system!
