Telmap has launched today it’s latest free application M8 for BlackBerry Touch Smartphones for users in the United Kingdom.
M8 is a free all-in-one mobile application that combines next generation navigation technology, local content and social media. Users can expect the same first-class turn-by-turn in-car navigation, voice-guided instructions and postcode and address search that they get from Telmap Navigator.
M8 has been developed with a number of new features including 3D maps and POIs, shortcuts to home and work addresses for easy commuting, striking vector-rendered graphics, sleek animations, clearer illustrations of next turn and improved lane detection. M8 also now offers additional content including free traffic and speed camera updates.
Features of M8 include:
- Live traffic updates.
- Speed camera alerts.
- Turn-by-turn navigation (automatically reroutes you and announces street names).
- Professional maps with auto updates.
- Dedicated pedestrian navigation with clear directions.
