amAze GPS is one of the world's most popular off-board mobile
phone navigation services with over 500 supported mobile phone models and
millions of downloads from all over the world.
In addition to the existing rich features including worldwide
navigation, mapping, speed camera alerts, rich POI, weather and more, the new
version 5.2 offers users also the option to share their location with a
selected list of their Facebook friends via amAze GPS. A new Facebook
interface was added to the mobile application to allow amAze users to view
the last known address or map location of their friends.
Users can get walking or driving directions to their friends'
location with one click of a button.
Important privacy protection mechanism allows users to select
which one of their friends will see their location. In addition the users
have the option at any time to disable their location sharing.
"This is an exciting addition to amAze GPS" said Ofer Tziperman,
President of LocatioNet. "Location sharing is a real need for many users
today. It is a natural extension for amAze, that allows users to interact
with their friends and family based on their current location and to share
some more relevant data that is available with today's GPS phones. We are
sure that it will get a warm welcome amongst our loyal users. All privacy
aspects were addressed".
Users can download amAze for free via the amAze GPS web site at:
http://www.amazegps.com or via most of the main app stores. The Facebook
interface can be found on http://apps.facebook.com/amazegps. The basic
