SANTA CRUZ, CA--(Marketwire - September 22, 2009) - Fullpower Technologies, creators of
MotionX-GPS™, the top-selling navigation application for the iPhone,
announces MotionX-GPS 7.1, featuring MotionX Import.
MotionX Import gives users the power
to wirelessly import GPS tracks and waypoints into their iPhone MotionX
application. Users can import hiking trails, bike rides, running trails,
ski runs, sailing adventures, kayaking trips, points of interest (POIs), or
any other similar tracks or waypoints. In addition, MotionX-GPS 7.1 also
allows users to wirelessly import GPS data from social networking websites
directly into the MotionX-GPS 7.1 application.
"MotionX Track Import delivers the power of a connected navigation solution
to millions of MotionX users," said Philippe Kahn, CEO of Fullpower. "Now
MotionX-GPS users can share each other's outdoor experiences instantly."
MotionX-GPS V7.1 embeds the functionality of an advanced handheld GPS unit
into a simple and intuitive iPhone application that is ideal for outdoor
activities such as cycling, running, sailing, skiing, kayaking, flying,
motorcycling and other outdoor activities.
MotionX-GPS customers have
already made creative use of this solution in many ways:
User Case Study 1: MotionX-GPS and Fishing Hotspots
Captain John Brummerhop sells fishing hotspots and uses MotionX-GPS.
"I am thrilled to be a part of this and it's really the reason I bought an
iPhone. I knew that this was the market of the future. Angler-Products.com takes
fishing locations from local fishing maps and turns them into files that
GPS units can read. With the new MotionX-GPS import function, we can
provide these fishing locations to anglers in real-time via their iPhone.
We are very excited about this new way to distribute our fishing hotspots
to clients that want them right now, not a few days from now. We feel this
will really improve our sales and our customers' satisfaction."
"I am a licensed U.S. Coast Guard Captain and a fishing guide for many of
the bays in Texas. My fishing hotspots have sold well to the local angling
community, but with a large investment in educating the consumer. iPhone
and MotionX-GPS users are already quite savvy, so I'm very excited about
this new market."
User Case Study 2: MotionX-GPS Users Share Cycling Tracks
David Bernstein of the FredCast Cycling Podcast
recently recorded a track with MotionX-GPS of the Glenwild Loop near Park
City, Utah. He shared the track via email with a fellow biker visiting from
Texas who wanted to ride the loop. Using GPX import, Bernstein's friend can
import the track and follow it directly with MotionX-GPS.
"I wanted to be able to record the Glenwild loop because I have a friend
who comes and visits Park City once a year, and he's always looking for new
trails to ride. I unloaded my bike and the first thing I did was load
Motion-GPS and let it acquire a satellite signal. I hopped on my bike,
pressed the start button on the Track Recorder, slipped my phone in my
jersey pocket and didn't give it another thought until I returned back to
the trailhead. After finishing, I saved the track and sent it to my friend
as an email. When he comes here next, he'll be able to upload it into his
device. It's a great app, something you should check out, and best of all,
you don't need that handheld unit anymore."
