Whereis has launched its first turn-by-turn GPS navigation app designed for Google Android-powered smartphones.

This app works with the recently released Android operating system and according Whereis spokesman Fred Curtis, it is designed “to harnesses the open nature of the Android operating system to perform in an integrated and free-flowing way…ie: the app can integrate with Android’s voice recognition software, allowing customers to perform voice searches for Yellow Pages listings and nearby points of interests.

The new applications are available alongside the existing suite of Whereis Navigator features that include turn-by-turn spoken and visual directions, spoken street names, lane guidance, automatically updated maps, weather forecasts, traffic incident alerts and nearby fuel prices.

Whereis Navigator is available on selected Android smartphones running on the Telstra Next G network.
