FUGAWI INTRODUCES NEW iMAP APPLICATION
FOR THE APPLE iPHONE

Software Leader’s iMap App Provides Outdoor Enthusiasts Seamless and Convenient Access to
US, Canadian and Swedish Topographic Maps

Toronto, Canada – Software manufacturer Northport Systems Inc. announced today its new topographical map application for the Apple iPhone™, Fugawi iMap.

Ideal for outdoor activities, Fugawi iMap allows iPhone users to seamlessly download and access raster topographical maps of the United States and Canada. A second App provides access to Swedish Topographical maps.

The full-featured Fugawi iMap App provides an intuitive user-interface for marking waypoints and extensive mapping data for navigation and positional location information throughout the US and Canada.

The Fugawi iMap App displays a user’s real-time location in latitude and longitude or Universal Transverse Mercator (UTM) with an easily visible position marker. An active map seamlessly pans as the user moves, features a zoom in and out function, and includes detail such as scale, elevation, contours, water bodies, major roads, railways and bridges, to name a few. The perfect accompaniment for hiking, fishing, cycling, geocaching or any outdoor or off-road adventure, the Fugawi iMap App offers the easiest waypoint editor available – users simply tap the screen to drop a waypoint and drag the marker to move it. Plotted points include name, icon, exact coordinates and text descriptions that can be quickly edited on the iPhone. Fugawi iMap maps are downloaded through the iPhone’s internet connection (Edge, 3G or WiFi) and saved locally on the phone for use even when outside of cell phone or WiFi internet coverage. For the ultimate in versatility, the Fugawi iMap App comes with a free Fugawi X-Traverse account that allows users to save, retrieve and transfer waypoints as GPX files from Fugawi navigation software for PC, MacENC for Apple OS X and Google Earth to the iPhone, and vice versa.

“We pride ourselves on providing the most powerful navigation capabilities to outdoor enthusiasts, and we are pleased to expand our offerings with the Fugawi iMap App,” said Robin Martel, president of Northport Systems. “Furthering our commitment to providing customers with the best technology to enhance the outdoor experience, the Fugawi iMap application delivers easy to use, convenient mapping features that Fugawi will continue to expand via free updates for iMap users.”
