Heads-Up Navigator also provides an augmented reality navigation experience


Heads-Up Navigator provides an immersive, "augmented reality" navigation experience by overlaying floating 3D labels directly onto the world around you, as shown by your phones built-in camera. I like the including google map that is displayed in the camera view which gives you a better view of where you are.The display tilts and pivots as you move your phone through real space, letting you easily visualize landmarks and addresses near you. iPhone and iPod Touch devices other than the iPhone 3GS dont have a built-in electronic compass, so the direction you are facing cant be automatically determined. On those devices, a wireframe mode is provided that shows a 3D visualization, with arrows for manually rotating through virtual space. The wireframe visualization still tilts automatically as you tilt your phone. All modes show an small overlay map of your surroundings, which rotates in real time with the phone, so you can navigate confidently along city streets. Easily indicate the locations you want to visualize by entering addresses or the names of important parks or landmarks. You can also manually enter locations of interest by directly adjusting a map pin.
