FaceTime from the middle of the Pacific. Arthur and Peter, my MotionX colleagues are in the office in Santa Cruz, California and get video-taped doing FaceTime between Pete’s iPhone 4 in Santa Cruz and my iPhone 4 in the middle of the Pacific Ocean one of the most isolated spots in the world. When it came up, it was like magic! To paraphrase Arthur Clarke, Great innovative technology and magic are literally indistinguishable. This is what the Camera-Phone was designed to do.

New 12.0 features include:

• Full support for iOS 4
• Multitasking allows MotionX-GPS to record tracks while you do other things on your iPhone such as taking phone calls, visiting a web page, listening to streaming music, or getting Live Voice Guidance with MotionX-GPS Drive for example.
• Record tracks in the background with your screen off to extend your battery life!
• Background Voice Coaching: hear audible progress updates (distance, time, speed, pace).
• New Wifi/Triangulation mode estimates your position when GPS is unavailable.

Thank you for your continued feedback!

Ed was sailing his F-24 Trimaran, GlowBoat, back to Connecticut from Block Island after a recent regatta when the weather closed in around him. No need to worry; he used MotionX-GPS on his iPhone to guide him safely back to port.

“Thanks again for your very cool product. I am upgrading to iPhone 4 and look forward to using MotionX-GPS on it as well. I think I will keep my old phone on the boat as a backup for my dedicated GPS for just such a contingency!” –Ed

MotionX brings high definition navigation and all-new features exclusively to the iPad

SANTA CRUZ, CA – May 12, 2010 — Fullpower Technologies, the global leader for mobile sensing solutions, announces MotionX-GPS HD exclusively designed and optimized for the iPad, fully leveraging the large high-definition display.

MotionX-GPS HD embeds the functionality of an advanced GPS unit or chart plotter into a intuitive application that is ideal for outdoor activities such as walking, hiking, sailing, off-roading, flying, geocaching or exploring new places. With worldwide coverage, MotionX-GPS HD enables users to show their current position and track at all times on street, topographical/terrain, satellite, hybrid, or nautical maps.

“With MotionX-GPS HD you can travel the world and access on-board maps everywhere you go,” said Philippe Kahn, founder and CEO of Fullpower. “This is a huge advantage because you can download maps of any geographic region for free via WiFi without incurring extra data charges. You’ll have access to maps from Beijing to Honolulu to San Francisco to Paris — literally anywhere you travel around the globe. And with the new address lookup you can also route a path anywhere in the world – point to point as the crow flies. Plus you’ve got ten hours of battery life – much longer than on a phone.”

MotionX-GPS HD makes navigating easy and includes many new user-requested features from MotionX’s customer base of more than 3 million iPhone users. Highlights include:

• Access to ten map types, including experimental NOAA charts for U.S. marine areas.
• Onboard storage of NOAA charts and MotionX terrain and road maps allows for offline access and lightening fast rendering.
• Geocoding capability converts any location to the closest physical address. Like all waypoints, these locations can be stored for future use. The application also displays coordinates in Lat/Lon, UTM, or MGRS coordinate formats.
• Search for landmarks, cities, countries, street addresses, or lat/lon using freeform search.
• MotionX uses the GPS chipset in the 3G iPad, but it also works great in Wifi mode.  In addition, the application leverages the iPad’s built-in magnetic compass for true or magnetic bearings.

MotionX-GPS HD for the iPad is available for $2.99 for a limited time through the Apple App Store. MotionX is committed to constant improvement through listening to our millions of users and continuously adding the most requested features.

New Map Storage Lets Users Take MotionX Maps Anywhere Worldwide

SANTA CRUZ, CA – Fullpower Technologies, the global leader for mobile sensing solutions, today launched an updated version of MotionX-GPS featuring MotionX Map Storage allowing users to take up-to-date MotionX maps well beyond the coverage range of cellular connections.

MotionX-GPS 9.0 embeds the functionality of an advanced handheld GPS unit into a simple and intuitive iPhone application that is ideal for outdoor activities such as hiking, cycling, running, sailing, skiing, kayaking, motorcycling, and flying. Embraced by more than 2 million outdoor enthusiasts, MotionX-GPS 9.0 for the iPhone 3G and 3GS is available for $2.99 for a limited time through the Apple App Store.

Now with MotionX Map Storage, users can easily download the latest up-to-date MotionX O-Road and O-Terrain maps for any region of the world before setting out on their adventure. MotionX O-Road and O-Terrain maps are worldwide road and terrain (topographic) maps based on the OpenStreetMap project. MotionX users have taken MotionX-GPS well beyond the coverage of cellular connections to track activities such as sailing across the Pacific Ocean, biking across the deserts of Abu Dhabi, hot air ballooning above the Rocky Mountains and even racing up volcanoes in Guatemala.

MotionX User Profile: MotionX-GPS Tracks the GVI Volcano Challenge
MotionX-GPS recently tracked the 2009 GVI Volcano Charity Challenge in Guatemala. Seventeen “challengers” and three guides from Old Town Outfitters set off on the six day volcano climbing challenge to raise money for the Phoenix Project in Guatemala.

Pacaya volcano, with its river of lava was first up, a great hike across hardened lava. Santa María was next, followed by Tajumulco, the highest volcano in Central America at over 13,700 feet, and finally to Lake Atitlán’s San Pedro for the fourth and final summit.

Daniel Ponce-Taylor, one of the challengers in the event, brought MotionX-GPS loaded on his iPhone to track the climbs. “I have been using MotionX to its full potential. It’s been a great tool, and really accurate,” said Taylor.

The new Map Storage functionality in MotionX-GPS 9.0 is ideally suited for this type of “off-the-grid” activity, where the closest cell tower may be many miles away. Users can easily select and download maps of an area before they leave on a journey away from cellular signals or WiFi connections.
