The LBS toolkit is a programming library interface that allows you to incorporate Garmin’s GPS navigation directly into your current Java-based application. LBS toolkit allows mobile device users to search for a given address; it triggers route calculation and navigation and receives GPS position information.
The Garmin LBS Toolkit is a flexible location-based service platform that can serve as the engine behind third party LBS applications. The Toolkit incorporates Garmin’s proven navigation API, local search, real-time content delivery services, and mobile advertising delivery services, into one powerful platform.
Adding Garmin’s LBS Toolkit to mobile applications can enhance the value and utility of virtually any location aware mobile application, from enterprise and fleet management, real estate, medical, family tracking, pedestrian, automotive, local search, and many others.
The launch customers for Garmin LBS Toolkits are Xora and Agilis, leading GPS tracking and mobile resource management software providers. These companies will leverage Garmin’s navigation API to deliver turn-by-turn navigation experience to mobile workers, thus further improving their productivity. Thanks to the Garmin LBS Toolkit, mobile workers can enter a specific street address into their mobile phone and receive turn-by-turn, text-to-speech, voice prompted directions to their destination. If a driver misses a turn, Garmin’s navigation technology will automatically recalculate a new route to the destination. In addition, the mobile worker’s office can dispatch the worker to the next service location by sending a destination to the phone, which the worker can accept and route to with the push of a button.
The Garmin LBS Toolkit is a proven technology platform currently in use in Garmin Mobile™, a feature-rich consumer application delivering maps, turn-by-turn navigation, and dynamic content such as Weather, Traffic, and Gas Prices on select handsets.
