Finding your way in the world has never been easier!

NEW YORK, April 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Mexens Technology today announced
the availability of its flagship software on Blackberry devices. Thanks to
Navizon, owners of Blackberries can now:
- see where they are on a map and easily find their way to their next
destination
- see the whereabouts of their friends or coworkers right from their
mobile device
- search for businesses such as bars or restaurants right around where
they are.
All this regardless of their carrier since Navizon works on any
wireless network and in any country.
But what makes Navizon even more exciting is that a GPS device is not
even required to benefit from these very useful features. By using wireless
signals triangulation, Navizon's Virtual-GPS is able to spot your location
on a map thereby enabling a myriad of Location Based services on your
phone.
"The release of Navizon for Blackberry devices is a very important
development for our community of users," said Cyril Houri, Founder and CEO
of Mexens Technology. "By supporting this new platform, Navizon is now
accessible to a vast majority of smartphone and PDA owners, making
Location-Based services on wireless handhelds a reality even for users who
don't have a GPS- enabled phone."
This new version of Navizon is also bundled with MGMaps, a powerful
mobile mapping system working on any Java enabled phones.
In addition to Blackberry, Navizon is also compatible with Windows
Mobile and Symbian devices.
Navizon is freely available for download: simply go to
http://www.navizon.com from your wireless device. Navizon's Virtual GPS is
available for a free 15 day evaluation period and can be licensed for
$24.99 after the trial's expiration.

Got it installed (OTA), but could not get it to run! I kept getting a java error. Despite that, I was not impressed with the whole procedure to get it 'going'...

Application developers have to make thing easy for the consumer. People like me are advanced, but what about the every day user who is not? Rhetorical, of course...
