The Nokia Xpress-on™ GPS shell is compatible with the Nokia 5140 phone and opens up your world to convenient wireless positioning. It integrates a GPS module with the Nokia 5140 phone and offers stand-alone GPS and map-based Travel Guide Service applications, helping you find places, get location information, and use route guidance.
Features:
When you want a map and guidance to interesting places - parks, hotels, and restaurants, for example - open the Travel Guide Service and download the information via your phone’s network connection. Or, for coordinates of your location, link up to GPS - which uses a network of satellites to get information on your location. Both applications help you find places, get location information, and use route directions easily - plus you can save the locations of your own favorite places.
The Nokia Xpress-on™ GPS shell uses your phone’s battery, and it offers improved protection against splashes and dust.
GPS
The GPS functions in the Xpress-on™ GPS shell are supported by a network of satellites to provide location information and route guidance - no GSM network coverage is necessary.
Trip Computer
Ever wonder how much ground you’ve covered, and how quickly? The trip computer keeps track of current and accumulated trip data, like course, speed, elevation, distance, and time. You can customize the view to see the combination of fields you choose.
Waypoints
Don’t forget where you found that scenic vista, stunning waterfall, or incredible bakery - save interesting places as waypoints. Waypoint coordinates are stored in the phone’s memory and can be accessed by both GPS and Travel Guide applications. And when you want to share a special spot or have a friend join you, you can send waypoints as SMS messages to a compatible Nokia phone.
Route Guidance
Find your way to a particular waypoint with the GPS application route guidance function. Route guidance uses a rotating compass (on your phone’s screen) with four directional descriptions - North, East, South, and West - and an arrow that shows the bearing to the next waypoint.
Tracking and Return Track
With Tracking and Return Track, you won’t need to leave a trail of bread crumbs to find your way out of the forest. Tracking helps you keep a record of your journey by recording points that you pass through. When it’s time to go home, Return Track uses those recorded points to guide you back to your original position.
Travel Guide
The Travel Guide application works over the GSM network to access maps, route guidance and point of interest data.
Waypoints
Don’t forget where you came to that scenic vista, stunning waterfall, or incredible bakery - save interesting places as waypoints. Waypoint coordinates are stored in the phone’s memory and can be accessed by both GPS and Travel Guide applications. And when you want to share a special spot or have a friend join you, you can send waypoints as SMS messages.
Route Guidance
Find your way to a particular waypoint, address, or point of interest with route guidance in the Travel Guide Service application. Route guidance takes your location and shows you possible routes to your destination, provides you with an itinerary, and updates your location on a map.
Points of Interest
Want to find a restaurant nearby, or maybe a nice overlook? Points of interest can be looked up in the Travel Guide application, giving you a head’s up into a particular area. Points of interest are organized in categories like restaurants, hotels, and golf courses - so you can easily find a point that interests you. Points of interest can be looked up alphabetically, by category, or by proximity to your location.
Maps
Maps viewed with Travel Guide are accessed online, over-the-air, so that you get the latest available map. Zoom in for street name details, or zoom out to get a broader view of the region. A one-year subscription to a regional map package is included with the Nokia Xpress-on™ GPS shell.
