SANTA CRUZ, CA--(Marketwire - July 7, 2009) - MotionX™-GPS, the top selling navigation
application for the iPhone, launches an updated version with expanded
features and functionality made possible by the recent iPhone 3GS hardware
and 3.0 software update.
MotionX-GPS embeds the functionality of an advanced handheld GPS
unit into a simple and intuitive iPhone application that is ideal for
outdoor activities such as biking, running, sailing, skiing, kayaking and
more.
Avid sailors, Fullpower founder
Philippe
Kahn, and vice president of technology, Mark Christensen, are currently
using MotionX-GPS V6 as they doublehand across the Pacific in the Transpac

time imagining a future with all types of motion sensing mobile designs,
powered by
Fullpower."
