Smartnav on smartphones

Smartnav Mobile is now available on the most smartmobiles including the iPhone, Nokia and Blackberry, as well as Windows-based GPS mobiles.

Smartnav is easy to download and simple to use and offers real-time traffic data and road speeds to keep motorists on the best available route at any given time. If there is a blockage or slow moving traffic an immediate alternative is downloaded to the phone.

Just enter a postcode into the phone and within a minute a route will be loaded. Or just call the Trafficmaster Personal Assistants, who will find your destination and download the route to your phone.

John Lawrence, Sales & Marketing Director of Trafficmaster plc said,”Putting it on the leading smartphones makes Smartnav Mobile readily available as both a business and lifestyle application and will help motorists save time, fuel and mileage by keeping them on the best route at all times, avoiding congestion and unnecessary delays”.

Honest John

Honest John, the leading independent motorist website, has launched a new service whereby you can download car road tests and videos via a free App to your Apple iPhone.

Most drivers usually rely on a friend or colleague if they visit a car showroom so this useful service will enable you to have all their latest data at your fingertips.

The new application, as well as delivering independent news, road tests and videos from the Honest John website, also allows access to the website’s backroom, where an interactive forum discusses many other motoring issues. Honest John is a popular car site and receives over 750K unique visitors per month so this new App is bound to be popular.

Honest John, who is a partner of Comparecontracthire.com, is also promising that the new App will be available on other smart phones like Nokia and Blackberry in due course.
