Wikitude Drive shows innovation by overlaying the Desired navigation route onto the camera view of the mobile device. With this new technology, the navigation has just significantly Become Easier and safer. "Wikitude Drive revolutionizes mobile navigation. Instead of using a digital map, the driver simply needs to follow a line projected onto his camera view. It All Happens In real time, "said Martin Herdina, CEO of Wikitude. Following a line is a lot Easier than following a route on a rather abstract map That hardly resembles reality. "In Addition, Wikitude Drive proves to be a road safety milestone Because the driver's view never leaves the road", Herdina pointed out one of the app's key advantages.

Besides viewing the route Itself, the driver has the option of virtually adding points of interest (POIs) like hotels, restaurants and petrol stations to the display.
To Ensure high quality of POI and routing data Wikitude Drive works with market leader Navteq digital maps. Having to update a map or route information has become a thing of the past with Wikitude Drive as the data is always downloaded in real time to enable the route calculation. Users can rest assured That the latest additions and changes to the roads are included.

With AR offers many advantages but the main thing is safety in which to incorporate a road map image with an image taken from camera phones will reduce the risk of accidents due to see the map on the screen.

In Wikitude These drives also come POI (Point of Interest) is the same as we see on screen applications Stream.

Currently Wikitude can be used but only for those of you who live in the United States, Mexico and Canada as well as support only a few Android phones like Samsung Galaxy, Google Nexus S, HTC Nexus One, Desire, Sony Ericsson and Sony Ericsson X10i X8.

Looking ahead, WikiTude can be used for other mobile OS from the iPhone, Symbian and Bada.
