Not with Navizon now. Navizon has been available for many phones running on Windows Mobile, Blackberry, Symbian or Java. But with the release of Navizon Desktop yesterday, both your PC and Mac laptops can now make use of Navizon’s innovative technology.

Navizon for PC and Mac

“Navizon is a positioning system that works by triangulating signals from Wifi and/or Cellular towers. It is based on a community of users mapping the wireless landscape in their area and collecting Wifi and Cell towers locations all around the world. Once the data collected is shared with the rest of the network, everyone can benefit from Navizon’s virtual GPS, even on devices that do not include a GPS chip.”

If the area that you live in is blanketed by WiFi and has cellphone signals, Navizon has the potential of being really accurate.
