Navigation, solely w/ remote speech recognition!

 

NavStar Technologies, in partnership with Navteq, a provider of digital maps for vehicle navigation, has released "Voice Navigator" - an entirely speech recognition driven navigation device accessing only a remote server!

True, wireless remote speech recognition... via NavStar:
"No PC's, CD's, DVD's, tiny screens, difficult interfaces, or piles of 'stuff' to learn. Simply plug it in and start using it."

According to NavStar, there is even "planning intelligence" built in:
Users can plan their trip ahead of time, store it and then access the planned route with the push of a button.

The device interfaces with user's mobile devices, using their wireless broadband service. Navteq's "Points of Interest" database includes over six million listings including airports, restaurants, hotels, banks, gas stations and other popular destinations, or, subscribers can state the exact address desired.

Our techie hats are off to this wonderful advance in true wireless remote speech recognition!
