An application development platform and a navigation application for Blackberry units have been announced by Nextel Communications, offering fleets new options for using the network’s GPS-based location features.
Intended for large fleets with internal IT development resources and third-party developers, the Nextel Wireless GPS Platform can be used to create customized applications using location data from the company’s GPS-enable handsets. Server-based location applications developed with the new platform can be used with both Java and non-Java handsets. For more information, go to www.nextel.com.

The TeleNav application also features an interactive voice response system that can be used to input destinations or ask for location information. It supports a number of languages including Spanish, Russian and Mandarin.
