Route 66 Maps + Navigation is an app for Android operating system phones that provides turn-by-turn directions, but is also pioneering augmented reality navigation. Route 66 Maps + Navigation (not to be confused with the Maxicom Route 66 app in the Android Market) has licensed TomTom's maps, for reliable and accurate routing. But it will also roll out a Follow Me feature (see photo). Follow Me "shows video of the street in front of you using the camera of the phone or tablet and adds a virtual 3D car driving in front of you. Indicator lights flash to tell you where to turn left or right," states the Swiss-based Route 66. No price or release date have been set for Route 66 Maps + Navigation, which will debut in the Android Market. Image © Route 66

MotionX recently updated GPS Drive, its popular iPhone automotive navigation app, with traffic detection and avoidance features. The new version 9.0 app is also updated for full compatibility with the Verizon iPhone. With a data-feed from TrafficCast, a provider of predictive and real-time traffic information, the new MotionX app displays traffic delays and stoppages in color-coded street overlays (see image). TrafficCast derives its traffic data from GPS tracking, public sensors and accident reports, road works, and weather. The MotionX GPS Drive app sells for 99 cents, plus $19.99 per year for optional text-to-speech direction capability. Image © MotionX

Canon has introduced its first PowerShot point-and-shoot digital camera with GPS technology, the $349 PowerShot SX230 HS. The SX230 automatically geotags photos (unless you choose to turn off geotagging). The new camera's features include a 12-megapixel image processor, full 1080p HD video, optical zoom, and Canon's HS System, which dramatically improves images in those frustrating, low-light and indoor conditions.
