GPS Intelligence by PS Ventures Limited
The GPS Intelligence Navigation Apps gives an iPhone user tons of great GPS data all on one screen. The app details the latitude, longitude and bearing in a highly accurate and easy to read format. One feature that is very useful is that the app can be set to a background task which allows for multitasking.
While it does drain battery faster, it is sometimes necessary to switch between apps when using a GPS app. Switching over to maps and driving directions are sometimes necessary and having the GPS Intelligence Navigation App really makes getting accurate location information faster.
The app has been popular with app developers as a way to test new apps with location and GPS features.
TransitGenie Chicago By BITS Lab @ UIC
TransistGenie is a public transit navigation app created specifically for Chicago. The app gets Chicago transit user from point A to point B in the most efficient way possible using CTA connections, as well as Pace and Metra routes. The app utilizes real time data from the transit authority to monitor train and bus schedules. The app becomes extremely useful when there are delays in departures and arrivals. If a connection is missed, the user can pull up new times to make connections. Transit Genie uses data input from the user, such as walking speed and other preferences to make this navigation app highly personalized.
As navigation apps go, this is a very useful, yet very single purpose app. Great app for those that utilize Chicago transit on a daily basis, or even those visiting Chicago for the day for an event or convention.
