I’ve been invited to the Navx private beta presentation on Thursday (thanks Florent and Jean). I was pretty curious about what Navx was up to since I didn’t get any real update for the last year (since they raised their Series A, actually). I must confess I really like what they presented, Navx beta is going to be a 100% free and open platform aggregating your position information gathered through any gps-enabled device and bridging this data over to your other preferred services (flickr, for automatic picture tagging, your blog for tour maps sharing…). Getting my invite code on monday, can’t wait to try it out !
They even developped a plugin for TomTom devices that sniffs you track and then lets you upload it directly to Navx website in one click. I used another service called motionbased which is kind of similar, but very web1, pretty slow to use an I felt kind of stuck to it once you start uploading your data into it. Hope Navx does a better job, I’d be more then happy to switch !
