SAN FRANCISCO – Oct. 25, 2004 – Networks In Motion™, a software solutions provider for mobile workforce management and Location-Based Services (LBS), today announced the availability of its NAVBuilder™ suite of extensions enabling the seamless integration of LBS into a wide variety of wireless applications.

The mapping giant plans to build its next-generation wireless mapping and search application using the Networks In Motion extensions. No release date for the Rand McNally solutions has been established.
Networks In Motion will be showcasing its LBS applications, including NAVBuilder, during the CTIA WIRELESS I.T. & Entertainment 2004 show at the Moscone Center in San Francisco on October 25-27.

Designed to speed time to market and reduce design and development costs, Networks In Motion’s NAVBuilder extensions feature powerful location, mapping and direction capabilities that can easily be integrated into any wireless application supported by either BREW™ or JAVA™. NAVBuilder extensions offer a cost-effective, flexible developer toolkit for commercial and consumer location-enabled applications, such as field service, CRM, fleet management, friend and family finders, real estate and location-enabled gaming.
“In bringing to market our NAVBuilder extensions, we are equipping developers with a reliable backbone to any LBS solution and assisting to speed time to market for a broad range of new wireless consumer and enterprise applications,” said Michael Sheha, president and COO of Networks In Motion. “We believe LBS applications will become an integral part of every mobile user’s life, and are confident our NAVBuilder extensions will help to enable this rapidly expanding industry.”
The company’s NAVBuilder extensions enable developers to integrate LBS-related features, such as maps, driving directions and proximity searches, into their applications and business processes.
