First nDrive data-free navigation solution for webOS 2.0

 

 There are so many solutions for GPS build  mobile device. They carries-specific ones, like VZ Navigator, or the free Google Maps Navigation for Android devices. But, until last week, web OS 2.0 has lacked a data-less solution. The 'nDrive' data-less solution is good because it stores all the maps on your device, so you only need GPS signal to receive route guidance.

 If you are using gprs data-derived GPS on your device, you know that the data connection can sometimes wane, and you're left wondering what to do next. But a data-less solution doesn't have that problem. When you are connected to your any network, then 'nDrive' offers weather alerts, route sharing, and support for Facebook Places and Foursquare.

  You can also take the 'nDrive' GPS solution with you internationally, without needing to purchase data service. But international maps will cost you extra, above the already daunting US$49 pricetag. But if this is in lieu of a standalone unit, you're still getting a pretty good deal.
