At Networks In Motion (NIM), we believe that location awareness will be a key driver motivating consumers to adopt new wireless applications for their GPS-enabled mobile phones. We've created NAVBuilder to support software developers' efforts to address this emerging market for location-based services (LBS), and to provide a platform for resolving location- and context-based real-time data requests by subscribers.
The NAVBuilder Developer Platform Program provides wireless
application developers and enterprises with a rich set of tools
to integrate location-based services into their applications and
business processes. Designed to speed time to market and reduce
design and development costs, NAVBuilder extensions feature
powerful location, mapping, and direction capabilities that can
easily be integrated into wireless applications.

NAVBuilder is backed by a solid track record in wireless application development
NIM has been a leader in wireless application development for fi ve years. Our AtlasTrackTM product was deployed on Nextel for Field Force Automation and Tracking in 2003.
Our background in BREW application development is signifi cant: NIM developed Rand McNally Street Finder
WirelessTM (announced in 2004). Deployed on BREW, the application links with RMC Road Atlas.TM In addition,
we’ve developed a range of award-winning BREW applications demonstrated in carrier’s trials and Location-Based
Services (LBS) Challenges, including:
