A maze of streets, roads, underpasses, overheads and traffic can leave the best of drivers and navigators baffled in Pakistan. Trakker NAV Digital Navigation system by TPL Trakker solves that problem for commuters.
TPL Trakker, a fully owned enterprise of Trakker Holdings, has launched Pakistan first ever digital navigation system. The system boasts to provide the most comprehensive geographical coverage in Pakistan with the most accurate house address searching system available in the country.
TPL Trakker
TPL Trakker Limited is a joint venture with DigiCore of South Africa and responsible for markets in the Middle East & South Asian (MESA) region. TPL Trakker claims to be Pakistan’s first and region’s largest vehicle tracking and fleet management service provider. The company provides a majority of services including Stolen Vehicle recovery and Fleet management, Trakker NAV is its latest product.
What is Trakker NAV?
Trakker NAV is a voice guided GPS Navigation system which features the latest and most detailed maps of Pakistan and provides a vast coverage of more than a 100 cities and highways all over Pakistan. The system showcases more than 800,000 points of interest which means that that there are approximately 800,000 points on the system that can be searched.
TPL Trakker says that features such as House address search took the company several years for development since Pakistan lacks any comprehensive digital maps library which could have been used for the Trakker NAV system.
Mobile Apps:
Mobile apps have been developed in collaboration with Sygic, which is the leading provider of navigation solutions world over. If any of the readers has ever used Sygic for handheld devices you would know how amazing this software is.
The software which downloads onto your smart phone (android or iOS) can provide you with directions from your current location to the destination of choice. The software also provides search capabilities through which you can search destinations. Also the software is voice enabled and provides turn by turn navigation, guiding its users exactly what route to take and which turn to turn.
The most amazing part of the Sygic platform though is that it does not require an active data connection to search or navigate. The software downloads the map you require onto your phone and that is only when a data connection is required.
Though map size for Pakistan is humongous, 72 MB in fact. Probably cutting the map into cities would have benefited the users a lot. Of course no point of downloading the map on GPRS/EDGE, WiFi is the only option I would say.
Downloaded maps correlate and plots your current location onto the phone. Once you start moving the software utilizes the GPS on the smart phone to coordinate by coordinate update your location onto the device thus giving you exact coordinates as to where you are and your distance and route required to your destination.
Value add on services like these can lay the foundation for future services like live traffic condition update and can further help in better traffic management in major cities of Pakistan.

stunning
Fantastic app.
Nice share webby
Paid article .,, gmaps is better. Why this app needs to access contact permission. May be that’s why its free. It uploads all my address book to spammers.
First of all the app is not free it’s 7 trial.
I agree that this article looks more like an advertise than a review.
Also the writer of above -advertisement- should write how much of a battery hogger this app sygic is :/ , drained 80% of my phones battery in less than 1.5 hrs :/
Best solution? Download MyTrails .
I am using Google Navigation and it works out of the box. and it’s main features are.
1. Re-route in case you loose the route.
2. Voice Guided.
3. if you are attending calls the G.Nav voice guided navigation will keep guiding you by intrepting active call.
4. You can pre-cache maps to minimize packet data usage.
Google Navigation works out of the box for you? On what device? What version of Google Navigation/Maps? It does not work for me on 2.3.6 or 4.0.3, in Lahore.
same here, doesn’t work with me too.
It won’t work out-of-the-box, you need to root your phone and install Google Maps 5.9. There are tutorials on the web for it.
it very nice app for mobile
Appreciate the good work guys rather blaming it.
Although its a very good application indeed but compared to G_map its lack some capabilities.
i really like the post. Hats off to you.
TPL trakker has the worst quality and protection. They are loosing business fast.
I have Samsung Galaxy SII and its not a rooted phone yet I use Gmaps (Google Navigation) and it works perfectly for me :)
Why “Sygic” logo is there? I already have Sygic on my Motorola Atrix 4G, do I still need this?
waistag of money and time not any responsible official is sitting there,
Poor quality of technicians which leads your equipment to the major fault.
i would suggest not to go for Tracker Nav.I had very bad experiance with them.
Spent 50,000 last year but useless.
Mudasser sb, can you tell me how it is useless, i experience it fantastic. Amazing 3D models and 2D features and reliable data is available in Trakker NAV. you must get free updated maps from Trakker if you r existing customer, Trakker NAV is really owsom
