Welcome to We-Travel !
Free navigation, 3D maps, voice guidance and tourist information always available on your java enabled mobile phone, without network connection
We-Travel is a personal initiative to develop a free navigation solution for Java enabled mobile phones. To complete this initiative, we need your help.
If you are looking for a bullet proof navigation system, please take a look here.
The key features of We-travel are :
Turn-by-Turn Voice Guided Navigation :
Based on your location, We-Travel gives you clear voice directions to reach your destination in an optimal way, either by car, bike or foot, supported by a 3D 'bird's eye' rotating map display.Always Available :
All map data is stored locally on your phone. This ensures We-Travel works offline in places where there is no mobile phone reception, abroad or in the countryside. And as a plus, there are no telecom costs associated with route calculation or map display ! (except for online services, like weather information,...)Free :

Of course, there are already navigation solutions specifically developed for one particular make of mobile phone.
And there are some generic navigation solutions for Java mobile phones using server side map and route generation, transmitting the results over expensive mobile networks.
But We-travel is:
World's first and only totally free, offline, country level, Java mobile phone navigation system !
The Future
We-Travel is developed as a platform, on which several location based services can be added.This could be anything from city guides, tourist tours to speed camera's and online traffic information, or meeting friends. Imagination is the only limit !
And maybe, very maybe or in a parallel universe, We-Travel could play an enabling role in the creation of the holy grail of modern transport, a true dynamic ride sharing platform.
Yes, I believe it's possible and the world is ready for it, just nobody is realising it yet ...
But back to reality...
As a first feature, We-Travel already allows you (optionally) to record your trips and submit them automatically or upon request to the We-Travel website, from where you can export them to Open Street Maps, Google Earth, ... etc. Note that you are only allowed to see your own traces and retention time of traces might be limited in the future.
We-Travel is evolving fast. Check this site regularly for new releases, new feature, updated maps, ...etc.
