This feature successfully combines the accurate positioning information provided by Navizon with the power of Google Local. "With this feature, our users will be able to search for the closest pizza place or hardware store, just to find out there might be one just around the corner from where they are standing," said Cyril Houri, founder and CEO of Mexens Technology. "We believe features like this one will radically change the habits of our users on the go," Houri added."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/images/web/2003/wey-20050812-Navizon.gif" /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=42236">Navizon</a> has just undergone a service upgrade to include local search functionality powered by Google Local Search.
