The Navizon Wireless Positioning System Navizon Rewards
Navizon Lite Navizon Premium


"Software Only GPS"

Navizon allows you to get your positioning information thanks to Wi-Fi and Cell Tower signals.  In order to know the exact location of each Wi-Fi access points and cell towers, they need to be mapped by users with GPS enabled devices.


Navizon's users with GPS enabled devices help us "map the wireless landscape". Which means that  they collect data that can be shared with other Navizon users. (Information for "Mappers" can be found here).

 

For more information on how users can be located without GPS, see Virtual GPS.

That's how the network works!

 

 

 

 
Ever wondered how you could transform the miles you travel into cash in your account. Well, now you can with Navizon rewards.

 

When you use Navizon with a GPS device, every Wi-Fi access point and Cell tower that you pass by will be logged and turned into points on your account.

 

  • 15 points for each cellular tower

  • 3 points for each Wi-Fi access point

If they are discovered by you (If you are the first one to map them)

  • 1 point for each Wi-Fi access point

  • 2 points for each cellular tower

If they have already been mapped by someone else

(except in a few areas)

 

Once you have 10,000 points, you can redeem them for a reward, and $15 will be wired to your Paypal account (minus the Paypal fee in the amount of $0.29).


Note: You may also choose to redeem a reward for a free copy of Navizon Premium.

 

 

The idea is fairly simple: some users who have GPS enabled phones, or a standalone GPS device map the wireless landscape (ie. the location of Cell towers and Wi-Fi Access Points) wherever they go, so that other users who don’t have GPS will be able to use a positioning system that works independent of GPS.

 

Instead, location is achieved by triangulating those same Wi-Fi and/or Cellular signals, whose location is now known thanks to the "mappers."
 

Like in every community, there are the people who do the work and others who benefit from it.

 

So users who don't want to map any points, but still want the full featured version of Navizon, need to buy it.


But the money is not going in our pockets, it is going in the pockets of those who make Navizon possible, by mapping the wireless landscape wherever they go.

 

 

 

 

(and get 20% of the points they accumulate !)

 

 

1) Log on to the member section
(at the bottom of the main screen you will see your Referral code).
 

2) Send the referral code to your friends who you want to introduce to Navizon.

(ask them to enter this information when they are creating their profile; there is a field for this referral code in the registration page).

 

As soon as they start mapping points, 20% will go straight into your account. So if you know people who drive a lot (Taxi drivers, Truck drivers, or salesmen for example), you will be able to sit down, relax, and earn money while they drive.

 

  • The people you refer to the system will not lose points because they are referred by someone: 20% of the points you get from them come in addition to the points they would normally earn if they weren't referred by anyone. So it's a win win for everyone.

  • You can not refer someone who is already using navizon. Even if they register a new profile with your referral code. If they started using Navizon before you sent them your referral code, it means that they knew about the system before you sent them your email and you aren't the first one who introduced them to the system.
