Short description: GPS navigation software company, 1999–2007

Mapopolis Navigator was a PDA/smartphone GPS navigation software created by Mapopolis. Mapopolis used data from Navteq.[1] Mapopolis Navigator files use a proprietary format and make it impossible for users to export their custom POIs.[2][3]

History

Starting in 1999, Mapopolis first released software for the Palm OS and later added software for Pocket PC handhelds and Windows smartphones. Mapopolis created the first real-time traffic service (Mapopolis ClearRoute), providing real-time route updates based on traffic conditions.[4][5]

By April 1, 2007, Mapopolis had discontinued sales of its consumer software.[6] Map downloads remained available for at least one year past that date for registered users who purchased the product and still did not use up their full 1-year allowance.
