Navizon can locate you with either your onboard or attached GPS, or
with our Virtual GPS
if your phone is not GPS equipped:
Navizon
is a positioning system that works by triangulating signals form
Wi-Fi*
and
Cellular towers
(GSM and CDMA).
It calculates the location of a wireless device by using several triangulation
algorithms and a database of known access points.
In other words, it uses Wi-Fi*
and Cellular signals as opposed to the satellite signals used for traditional
GPS.
Simple,
users who utilize Navizon with a GPS enabled device map the wireless landscape
wherever they use Navizon.
That data is then automatically shared with the rest of the community.
Users
who don’t have a GPS enabled device can still use Navizon, because the virtual
positioning system can still locate them, just like a GPS would.
Users
who have a GPS enabled device can earn
rewards and convert them into cash, all while
enjoying all the fun
features of Navizon.
***
In order for Navizon to Work without a
GPS enabled device, your area needs to be covered
by the Navizon database. (To see how well your area is covered,
check out or coverage map).
Once you hit "Start", you should see the Phone light or the Wi-Fi light
blinking. This means that Navizon has found your
position thanks to Wi-Fi and cellular positioning.
-
IIf no position is obtained it most
likely means that no one has mapped your area yet or that you are standing in a
place where no Wi-Fi or cell towers are visible.
-
You can check the coverage in your
area by creating a user profile in the member section and hitting "my coverage"
once you are logged in, or by looking at our coverage map/font>
