Nokia to provide Transit, Pedestrian Content to Garmin Urban Guidance

Nokia has announced that its Location & Commerce business is supplying its global Transit and Pedestrian Content (TaP) for Garmin’s new Urban Guidance function. Adding this feature to NAVIGON and Garmin-branded navigation apps will give consumers a choice of generating directions not only for driving and walking but also for public transport. Urban Guidance will initially be available via In App Purchase for smartphones running iOS and Android: NAVIGON for iOS, NAVIGON for Android and also Garmin StreetPilot Onboard for iPhone.Pedestrian centric TaP enables orientation and navigation on foot and via public transport. It includes elements such as walkways, bridges, tunnels, crossings, passages and stairs, and also powers pedestrian routing across squares, parks and other open spaces. The public transport data features railways, tram and bus lines, stops, stations and access points.Click here for full story
