Fullpower Technologies has released a GPS application for iPhone called MotionX that could become an
indispensible tool for commercial realtors and property
managers.
For most of us, a site inspection involves taking along
a digital camera, a notepad, a phone and possibly a GPS.
Imagine a tool that replaces all of these. With MotionX-GPS you can start your site inspection, take photos along
the way and make notes about those photos as they are
geo-coded to the location where you took them. The
program will show you, in real time, your
location on the street, and on topographic
and satellite maps. You can follow your
track back to where you started and email
the inspection to your office computer or
to recipients. You can even upload it to
Facebook. The uploaded file contains all of
your waypoints, photos, and notes and can
be viewed on Googlemaps or GoogleEarth.
MotionX-GPS is exclusively designed and
optimized for an iPhone 3G and 3GS (the
first generation iPhone and the 1st and 2nd
generation iPod Touch do not have the necessary GPS
chipset to acquire a GPS signal). There is a free version
of the MotionX application, called GPS LTE, available,
as well as a paid version for $2.99, either of which can be
found at the i Tunes store, or at http://news.motionx.com.
Updates to the paid version of MotionX-GPS are always
free.
