u-Nav Microelectronics Provides the Fastest and Easiest Integration Software Solution, Install n Go(TM), for Hosted GPS Applications

IRVINE, CA--(Marketwire - August 7, 2007) - u-Nav Microelectronics, developer of one of the world's smallest and lowest power Global Positioning System (GPS) integrated circuits and GPS software, is announcing the availability of Install n Go™, a reference application software that enables the industry's fastest and easiest integration of host-based GPS navigation software.

Based on u-Nav's Orion RX2™ high sensitivity GPS receiver, the Install n Go™ is a full featured Windows CE® host application program that initializes the Orion RX2™ GPS hardware, manages the fully ported Hosted Orion RX2™ navigation software and provides a standard NMEA interface for Windows mapping software through an integrated virtual serial communication port. Compatible with ARM-based host processors, the Install n Go™ utilizes standard Windows CE drivers for serial communication to the GPS IC and control lines to the GPS subsystem. When the GPS function is not in use, the Install n Go™ automatically places the u-Nav Orion RX2™ in sleep mode to save power and reduce host memory utilization.

"Our solution truly minimizes the integration effort of a high performance GPS host-based solution by eliminating the complexity of device driver development and other modifications at the kernel level," says Peter Benschop, u-Nav Director of Worldwide software. "With this quick integration software solution, no additional GPS software porting is needed to implement a fully functional cost optimized 20-channel GPS receiver with sensitivity levels of -160dBm."

The Install n Go™ startup operation and user interface can be easily customized to fit the needs of different applications and markets. The reference software is demonstrated on a standard handheld device running Windows PocketPC Operating System. The Install n Go™, Host-based Orion RX2™ and the uN3010 single chip are available now. For a demonstration of u-Nav's state-of-the-art software or for more information, please contact u-Nav Microelectronics Corporation.
