Hi,
Received this at work, it was announced at the Sales conference and is now live. I've downloaded it and have had a play and it works really well. The point was made at the conference that the $10 fee includes any data that Compass downloads.
======================
We are very pleased to announce that Vodafone Compass has now launched and is available for download onto your BlackBerry Curve 8310 GPS handset. This is a application providing location based services:
1. Turn-by-turn spoken word and , on-screen navigation instructions for walking or driving - a baby Navman if you will
2. Ability to search for a range of Points Of Interest such as airports, ATM's, banks, Dept stores etc etc. - then bring up their map location
3. Compass can send a TXT message of a location you want to meet someone at and if they also have Compass then it will pop up on their handset
4. Auto-update: notifies user when there is a new version available which they then click to download and replace the old version.
It will cost customers $10.00 per month recurring subscription or $2.50 for 24 hours use with no additional data charges, charged via Vlive! Simple!
Introductory Offer: anyone who downloads Compass before July 31st onto their BlackBerry GPS handset will get FREE use until October 31st. For more details visit: http://www.vodafone.co.nz/services/compass.jsp, or just go straight to http://go.live/compass with the Vlive browser on your 8310 Curve.
