Nav N Go, the leading white-label navigation software provider, today announced the availability of its iGO amigo navigation solution on an additional mobile platform, Google’s Android. The company previously announced iGO My way-based products for Windows Mobile and iPhone.  

“Smartphones increasingly are being embraced at the Consumer and Enterprise level, and as that process of adoption grows, it is critical that we enable our partners to compete on these platforms,” said Zoltán Szilágyi, Director of Product Marketing at Nav N Go. “The addition of Android to our list of supported platforms proves that we aim at rapidly offering more solutions on more platforms.”

With users expecting an increased range of mobile functions for emailing, web-surfing, navigating or downloading applications from portals like Apple’s App Store or Google’s Android Market, Nav N Go is extending its compatibility range to meet the market’s demand for turn-by-turn navigation and other location aware services. Similar to the other platforms, the Android- compatible version will offer the software’s unparalleled 3D visualization technology, a fast and efficient route planning engine and many other popular features.

“The growing popularity of GPS-smartphones with large touch screen such as the iPhone is driving sales of on-board navigation”, says ABI Research Practice Director Dominique Bonte. “Global yearly shipments of handset-based navigation software are expected to increase from 9.8 million in 2009 to 15.6 million in 2010 and 24.3 million in 2011. Open source mobile operating systems such as Android and Symbian will further boost growth in the US and Europe.”

Nav N Go launched the iGO amigo product line for the Windows platform at CeBIT in March 2009 and the iPhone 3G solution in August 2009. The company looks forward to the imminent launch of several Android products and will disclose in the near future which Android-based devices will carry its software.
