T805 is Motorola’s new phone-based navigation system featuring MOTONAV. If we’re not mistaken T805 is nothing but a regular bluetooth GPS receiver with a fancy name and a Motorola logo on it. The press release says with the purchase of a T805 you’ll get a 12 month free subscription to the MOTONAV service which gives you access to up-to-date online maps.
The Motorola T805 uses MOTONAV to send you from Point A to Point B with easy to follow, turn-by-turn directions. The map on the phone screen reorients, zooms, and moves to show exact location, direction, and next turn. Each direction is spoken to you through the phone’s speaker,, so you’ll never need to take your eyes off the road. You’ll stay on route and on time with GPS accuracy and satellite-based positioning for precise location. Missed a turn? The Motorola T805 will immediately recalculate your trajectory and get you back on track. Hungry? Search for local points of interest as your end destination or throughout your route.
We have no info on what kind of bluetooth phones can support this MOTONAV service they speak of or how much it will cost. I guess we’ll have more info coming as we get closer to the “Q2 2007″ release date.
In addition Motorola also released T815 which looks identical to the T805 but instead of being phone based, the T815 is called “Smartphone-Based Navigation System”. Again we have no list of phones that can work with T815 but from the press release it sounds like the T815 has more functionality when used with the MOTONAV service.
