-Navizon Lite is Free and works with Cellular triangulation
- Navizon
(WiFi + Cellular triangulation) if free to try, $24.99 to buy
Navizon Lite uses
cellular tower triangulation to identify the geographic
location of your
device. Just hit "Start" and your navigating in the real world
without a GPS
(Software Only GPS!). And of course, you will still benefit from all Navizon's
features.
Navizon will let
you combine Cellular and WiFi triangulation offering you an
accuracy close to a real GPS in an urban or suburban setting.
How does it work.
To use Navizon,
you need either a GPS or our Virtual GPS...
So what's the idea?
Navizon is a positioning system that works by triangulating
signals form
WiFi* and
Celullar towers
(GSM and CDMA). It calculates the
position of a wireless device by using several
triangulation algorithms and a database of known
access points. In other words, it works a little bit like
GPS only that it uses WiFi* and Cellular signals as opposed
to satellite signals for traditional GPS.
How do we build this database? Simple: users who use Navizon
with a GPS device will map the wireless landscape in their
neighborhoods and share their data with the rest of the
community.
- users who don’t have a GPS can now have a virtual positioning
system that lets them find their way, just like a GPS would do.
- users who have a GPS can earn rewards and convert them into
cash while enjoying all the fun features of Navizon.
"Software Only GPS"

In order for Navizon to
Work without a GPS, your area needs to be covered by the Navizon
data base.
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 the Wi-Fi* and cellular
positioning.
If no lights are blinking 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.
If you're still not sure if it works, you can always try
it: it's free!
