Mobile Geo runs on a windows mobile cellphone platform. With Mobile Geo GPS, you can learn about your location, nearby points of interest (POIs), plan a route between specified points of origin and destination, and get instructions on maneuvers about waypoints along a route that you are following. Additionally, since the hardware platform is a cell phone, you can activate it and use the accessible cell phone functions.
