GeoLife Ltd and PosiMotion have announced that they have submitted an application to the Apple App Store which enables personal turn-by-turn navigation on both the iPod Touch and the iPhone. When the application is approved it will be the first navigation solution available for the iPod touch.

Navigation on the iPod Touch is made possible through Geolife’s Navmii software and PosiMotion’s G-Fi mobile network/GPS router.  iPod Touch owners with both the hardware and software will be able to transform their iPod Touch into a personal navigation device with smart routing, interactive maps and spoken directions.

“To celebrate this achievement, the G-Fi will go on sale for $99, while supplies last.”

The Navmii iPhone application will be available for £29.99 for UK maps and $39.99 for US maps. A combined G-Fi mobile network/GPS router and Navmii software application for iPod Touch will also be available once the Navmii application has been approved by Apple.
