Subject: Nav4All navigation shut down by Navteq

Letter to 27,625,631 Nav4All navigation customers

Dear Customers,

It is with the deepest regret that we hereby notify you that the
global navigation of Nav4All and the Tracking & Tracing will go
offline in 3 days. The reason for the same is that the data licence
agreement with Navteq (a 100% Nokia subsidiary) was not extended, in
a totally unexpected manner. It is not possible to implement data
from another supplier in our Nav4All systems within the short term.
The Nav4All navigation system was developed for Navteq data. Nav4All
has therefore been constrained to stop.

We greatly regret the fact that we have to suspend the operation of
our service. With your help, we have developed Nav4All into a global
product with 27.5 million users in 56 languages, in 5 years. This has
made Nav4All the largest navigation supplier. This large number of
users also has to do with the fact that Nav4All works on hundreds of
different mobile telephones of many makes such as Blackberry, Sony
Ericsson, Samsung, Motorola, Android, HTC, Nokia, LG, Iphone, Ipod
etc.

After 5 years of testing and market development, we witnessed rapid -
in fact, exponential - growth during the last two years. That growth
was reported in the licence reports to Navteq. In mid-December 2009,
the global coverage was extended to include the Philippines, Morocco
and Kenya.

Please contact the Nav4All support desk in case you have any
questions: www.nav4all.com/support. If there is any further
information from Nav4All concerning the subject of this letter, the
same will be published on our website: www.nav4all.com. For reasons
of privacy, Nav4All does not have the email addresses of all its
customers, and we therefore request you to forward this email to the
maximum extent possible, in order to ensure that everyone is
informed.

Kind Regards,

Hennie J.M. Groot Koerkamp (CEO)

Jepp, war abzusehen, nachdem Nokia das Sagen bei navteq ubernommen hat.
Ob nav4all im Jahr 2010 überhaupt laufen würde, wurde ja schon länger diskutiert... Mit der Freigabe der Ovi-Maps-Lizenz für lau hat Nokia einen Coup gelandet, der sicherlich Navi-Hersteller wie tomtom noch in die Breduillie bringen wird.

Imho konnte die Offboard-Navigation auch nicht hundertprozentig überzeugen.
 
....und dann passend dazu mein "Nokia Developer newsletter" vom gleichen Tag... Auszug:


Ovi Maps Adds Drive, Walk Navigation for Free

Nokia has announced plans to release a new version of Ovi Maps for its smartphones that includes free walk and drive navigation worldwide.

For mobile developers and publishers, these changes for Ovi Maps represent a significant opportunity. The worldwide customer base for additional location-based applications and services will expand dramatically.

Developers will be able to create applications with cutting-edge navigation features built into their applications without incurring additional costs. Also, developers and publishers using the new navigation features can:

Experience the power of a new mobile platform that makes global navigation an integral part of the offer
Delight consumers worldwide with compelling, contextually relevant solutions
Bring new, location-based innovations to mobile devices as a result of global navigation becoming a standard feature on the mobile platform
The new version of Ovi Maps includes both car and pedestrian navigation features, such as turn-by-turn voice guidance for 74 countries in 46 languages and traffic information for over 10 countries. It also includes maps for more than 180 countries, as well as free access to Lonely Planet and Michelin travel guides
 
Begründen kann man aber auch alles ... :D !!

Marketing ist das halbe Leben...
 
Sehr Sehr Schade!
Gerade für "einfache" Java-Handys war die Software super!
Ich habe es die letzten 3 Jahre genutzt. Hat mich bisher immer super ans Ziel gebracht.
Gerade die einfache "Pfeilnavigation" fand ich top...
