NAVX is to distribute WCITIES guides for 100 destinations across North America, Europe and Asia via NAVX's geo-localised content store and social community website.
Travelers will be able to purchase and download the city guides. Over 100 destinations are to be released.
NAVX operates a platform aggregation and distribution of geo-localised content, which connects GPS with the Internet and allows customers to generate their own content, share it and upload it onto their GPS devices. It allows travelers to prepare for, record and share details of trips and holidays.
Fraser Campbell, CEO of WCITIES, said the partnership with NAVX offers an opportunity to reach a market that has been underserved with relevant and timely destination information for cities around the world.
