It looks like our in-car GPS dreams may finally come true. MacVroom recently spoke with Directions Ltd., creators of the Navigator GPS navigation software, and they are planning on releasing a Macintosh version this fall. Navigator is a robust in-car navigation package with voice guidance, detailed street mapping, and enhanced turn-by-turn directions. The Macintosh version will contain the same functionality as the current PC version and will support NMEA compatible Bluetooth and USB GPS receivers. Navigator currently supports map data for Europe, Great Britain and Ireland with US mapping support coming soon. Complete feature specs are available on their website.
Note: The final Mac version of Navigator my differ from the specs and images in this article.
We are really excited about Navigator coming to the Mac platform. The current GPS options available for the Mac are pretty bad. I know many of us can’t wait say “good riddance” to Route 66.
