New rewards calculation

Shematokens Some news on the rewards front. First we rounded the amount of each reward to $20. No big deal you might say...
But more importantly, we upped the points for the Wifi and Cell towers that you are the first one to map: 3 points per Wifi access point and 15 points for each cell tower. Yes you heard me right: 3 points and 15 points!!
However, you will earn a little less points for Wifi and Cellular towers that have already mapped by other people (2 points per cell site and 1 per WiFi access point) . 

So what does this mean to you:
- if you are mapping a place that has been "unexplored" by other Navizonians, you are going to get much more points than before (50% more to be precise).
- if however you are mapping a place that has been mapped over and over, you are still going to earn points, but a little less. Keep in mind though that there are new Wifi and Cellular towers that are installed every day. So even if you leave in a placed that has been heavily mapped already, you might still be picking up brand new towers in addition to the points for wifi/cell towers already mapped that you will be getting.

So let your Christopher Colombus spirit express itself and enjoy being the first one to explore new territories with Navizon!

New version for Blackberry and Symbian phones

Maps_8mo_snapMaps_bb_snapWe released a new version of Navizon for Blackberry and Symbian phones. Among other things, we resolved some connectivity issues on the Blackberry and we included new maps (picture 1) from 8motions.

On some Blackberries you will also be able to use the maps that are built-in in your Blackberry (picture 2).

All in all, it should make the application faster and the navigation more user friendly. Your comments and suggestions are welcomed in the forum .

Some other exciting features are coming up, so stay tuned for more...
