Dialog SatNav a fully featured GPS based mobile navigation system incorporates a digital street directory of Colombo which includes Class A, B, C and D roads in the Colombo Municipal Council area and suburbs.

especially for the Geographical Information Systems

The digital maps which form the heart of the navigation system support a range of advanced features such as the identification of "places of interest" and "optimum routes".

Dialog SatNav supports an advanced user interface complete with audio and visual prompts which serve to guide the user to a predefined destination. Dialog SatNav also enables customers to view maps in 2D (Dimension) or 3D (Dimension) format and to pre-configure frequently used routes.

"We are proud to partner IWS GIS in bringing Dialog SatNav to Sri Lankan consumers", said Group Chief Executive Officer of Dialog Telekom PLC Dr. Hans Wijayasuriya said.

"We are committed to connecting Sri Lankan consumers to the very latest in mobile technology. Dialog SatNav brings together the power of Satellite Global Positioning (GPS) technology and digital mapping by IWS GIS to empower users with a premium navigation experience".

Chief Executive Officer of IWS GIS Annika Senanayake said, "this initial launch of Sri Lanka's first ever voice prompted navigational tool is an exciting venture especially for the Geographical Information Systems Industry, and is quite literally putting Sri Lanka on the Global Map.

The continued development of our databases strives to provide even more comprehensive and value added information for the consumer."

Dialog SatNav Street Navigator is available at Dialog Future Centre, Future World, Modern Arcade, Anuradhapura, Kandy, Galle, Kurunegala and the World Trade Centre.
