Navigation and Telematics

Navigating the World Around You

TCS, through its acquisition of Networks In Motion (NIM), is proud to lead the way into a new era of navigation and telematics. We've turned today's GPS-enabled mobile phones into full-featured navigation devices, making it easy to find just about anything from ATMs and restaurants to people and events.

Reliable, fast, and incredibly easy to use, our customizable navigation and finder products empower more people around the world than any other location-based service (LBS) solution.

Our exceptionally reliable navigation and telematics platforms deliver location-centric information to people on the go. They offer continuous access to local directories, maps, driving directions, and more. TCS navigation and telematics helps families, individuals, and mobile workers find whatever they need, wherever they go, with more than 10 years of business experience with automotive telematics.

Rapidly Deployable Navigation and Telematics

Since mid-2003, we’ve been delivering products to major wireless carriers and enterprise customers, enabling the rapid deployment of mapping, directional, and other location-based services utilizing our patent-pending technologies. TCS' applications are available on QNX, iPhone, J2ME, BREW, and Windows Mobile.

Commercial Solutions

Gokivo Navigator turns any GPS-enabled mobile phone into a powerful personal navigation device. Users get real-time turn-by-turn visual and audible directions whether travelling by car, by ferry, or on foot. Searching for businesses or Points of Interest (POI) directories, film and event info is received with a touch of a button. Even traffic conditions, speed camera alerts (UK), and weather information can be accessed anytime from anywhere.

Whether traveling for business or picking up the kids, TCS' mobile phone navigation applications make it easy for users to find whatever they need, whenever they need it. Directions to nearby restaurants, ATMs, hotels, theaters and other points of interest are never more than a few clicks away.
