For enterprise users and developers

Navimote features and benefits:

  • Navimote is an on-demand location system based on push technology.

  • With Navimote you can obtain the current location of a device at any time by querying a URL.

  • No need to develop platform specific code on mobile devices: we take care of that and you can move all the logic to the server side.

  • Navimote is battery efficient - runs in the background and wakes up only when locate when the location is being accessed.

The Navimote client is available for:

  • Blackberry

  •  Nokia/S60 phones

  • Windows Mobile

  • iPhone (Jailbroken w/OS3)

  •  Sony Ericsson java phones

  • Windows 7, Vista and XP

Other platforms such as Android are coming soon...

How to set up Navimote:

  • Install Navimote on the phone/device you want to be able to track.
    The easiest way to install is by browsing to http://www.navizon.com/navimote using the device/phone's built in browser.

  • In order to locate a device you must identify it. This is done by creating a unique token for each device. You can create a token by visiting this webpage:
    http://navimote.navizon.com/Webapps/Navimote/NavimoteService.asmx?op=RequestToken

     

    The token you just created will need to be entered into the Navimote application on the device/phone. Please note that you can create as many tokens as you need - you need one token for each device you want to track.


    (You need a license key in order to request tokens. Please contact us in order to obtain a license key.)

  • Once you have a token, open Navimote on the phone/device and click on "Enter token" and enter this token. On the same screen please make sure Enable Navimote is on.

  • Make sure that an internet connection is available on the device. On some devices it may be neccessary to also permit Navimote to use the internet connection.

  • That's it! The phone is now ready. Navimote will be started automatically whenever the phone is switched on/restarted.

 

How to query the device/phone's location:

  • You can obtain the location of a device in xml format by querying the following URL:
    http://navimote.navizon.com/Webapps/Navimote/NavimoteService.asmx/GetLocation?livetracking=false&token=<token>

    The <token> at the end of the URL must be replaced by the token you created in step 2 above.

    The query will return an xml with the location of the device:
    <Location>
     <Longitude>40.76388</Longitude>
     
    <Latitude>-73.97353</Latitude>
     
    <Precision>1</Precision>
     
    <Altitude>NaN</Altitude>
     <VPrecision>NaN</VPrecision>
     <Radius>3500</Radius>
     <Speed>-1</Speed>
     <Heading>0</Heading>
     <TType>Phone</TType>
     <TimeTicks>633932779559508950</TimeTicks> 
     <TimeTicksUTC>633933031559508950</TimeTicksUTC>
     <LocationOrigin>5</LocationOrigin>
     <TTypeInt>2</TTypeInt>
    </Location>

     

     

  • You can display the location on a map by calling this URL:
    http://navimote.navizon.com/Webapps/Navimote/GetLocation.aspx?token=<token>

    The <token> at the end of the URL must be replaced by the token you created in step 2 above.

    This will open the location in google maps:

 

Switch on the GPS to increase accuracy:

 

If the device has a GPS then you can obtain a more accurate position by specifying livetracking=true in the query:

http://navimote.navizon.com/Webapps/Navimote/NavimoteService.asmx/GetLocation?livetracking=true&token=<token>

Navimote will attempt to enable the GPS and obtain a GPS fix before returning the position:

 

<Location>

  <Longitude>40.76388</Longitude>
 <Latitude>-73.97353</Latitude>
 <Precision>1</Precision>
 <Altitude>28</Altitude>
 <VPrecision>NaN</VPrecision>
 <Radius>76</Radius>
 <Speed>-1</Speed>
 <Heading>0</Heading>
 <TType>GPS</TType>
 <TimeTicks>633934451953546250</TimeTicks> 
 <TimeTicksUTC>633934703953546250</TimeTicksUTC>
 <LocationOrigin>5</LocationOrigin>
 <TTypeInt>5</TTypeInt>
