Navimote is an on-demand phone-finder based on push technology. With Navimote you can enable others to retrieve your position in real-time.

 


 

With Navimote you can:

  • Locate your friends

  • Locate your phone (if you installed Navimote on it before you lost it)

  • Keep track of your children


How Navimote works

 

 

In order to locate a device that has Navimote is installed on it, you will need to send an authorization request (a "token") to the person you want to track. He/she will be asked to enter the token into Navimote on their phone or computer. You can see your friends position as soon as your friend has entered the token has into his/her phone/device.

 

Navimote is available on Windows 7, Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows Mobile, S60/Nokia, Blackberry and Sony Ericsson Java as well as iPhones (jailbroken with OS3).

 

Navimote "sleeps" most of the time and when someone requests your location Navimote wakes up,  calculates the position and goes back to sleep.

 

The position from Navimote is always up to date.

 

Navimote does not drain your battery.

..

  • Enter a "Device name" that you want to see in your list of devices/friends on your Navimote webpage, enter your friends email address and your own email address and click "Send".

  • "An email has been sent" will appear when the mail has been sent successfully.

  • Your friend will now receive an email with your token and an invitation to share his location with you on Navimote.

 


Entering a token into Navimote

  • If your friend wants to share his position with you, then he must enter your token into Navimote.

    http://navimote.navizon.com/Webapps/Navimote/GetLocation.aspx?token=xxxxx

    (replace xxxxx with the token you sent to your friend)

    This will open a webpage where you can see their current position:.

Locate a lost phone

If you want to be able to locate your phone (or laptop) in case you loose it, make sure you send a token to yourself and register it in Navimote on the device you want to be able to locate.

If you later loose your phone/device you can attempt to locate it by using any web browser to log on to www.navizon.com .

 

Technical information

  • Navimote uses push tehnology in order to locate the phone only when it's requested:

    1. A location request with a valid token is requested from the Navizon server

    2. A push message is sent to the phone, asking Navimote to "wake up" and return its position.

    3. Navimote uses Navizon positioning technology to find the most accurate position available.

    4. Navimote returns the position.

    5. The location is shown on the map.

  • Navimote will only run when neccessary, and will not drain the battery.
