LG is launching smartphones with Destinator software in Singapore, with subsequent product rollouts planned for other Asian countries, including India, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand.

The turn-by-turn voice-guided GPS nav software and it's routing engine is integrated on LG smartphones with other third-party applications including GyPSii, the geo-mobility social networking platform and service.

Destinator 9 also enables users to search for POIs using most of the popular search engines, and browse through their contacts or text messaging inbox to choose a destination address.

The latest version of Destinator delivers new capabilities and features designed to guide users to their destinations easily, quickly and safely, with fewer clicks using new features such as NavStrip^TM, Tap N Go^TM, Online Search, StickyPOI, and Gesture Recognition.

Audio and visual turn-by-turn navigation features include an on-screen speed limit indicator with audible warning; broad geographic map coverage with current maps from multiple sources; optional visual lane guidance to eliminate confusion at complicated interchanges; optional safety camera support; and support for all major languages.
