>"The main goal of this new Mobile Geo version is 
>to allow our users to update their maps and POIs 
>for free. It is very important to us to make 
>sure that our users have access to the most 
>accurate data so that they feel safe traveling 
>with Mobile Geo. This means that even though Geo 
>2.5 is plugged into the Sendero 2010 GPS SDK, 
>all the new improvements of this new SDK are not 
>yet integrated" explains Eduard Sánchez, Code 
>Factory's CEO. "If we'd have added more of the 
>new SDK features, we would have had to charge 
>for this upgrade and we really wanted the users 
>of Mobile Geo 2.0 to have access to the 2010 
>maps and POIs for free. Our development team has 
>also been working hard to bring you new exciting 
>and useful features powered by Mobile Geo's 
>engine such as the highly anticipated Manual 
>Route Creation feature. This is therefore a major free update!"
>
>Main highlights of Mobile Geo 2.5:
>    * Compatibility with 2010 maps and POIs, 
> available at 
> <http://mobilegeo.senderogroup.com/users>http://mobilegeo.senderogroup.com/users 
> (user: mgdemo2010, pwd: codefactory). Note that 
> full licenses will require new map keys for each registered user.
>    * Address search by zip postal code. There 
> are now two search options, you can either 
> search by city or zip code. It is especially 
> useful for big cities which have numerous zip 
> codes for the same area. For example instead of 
> searching by Barcelona you can search by 08004 for more accuracy.
>    * Manual route creation feature, which 
> allows you to save your own waypoints while 
> creating a route and then replay the route 
> following your own itinerary instead of Mobile 
> Geo's automatic route calculation.
>    * Support for Google Transit Feeds. You 
> first need to login to your Sendero account and 
> download the Google transit feed you are 
> interested in. Then you will be able to search 
> for the Google Transit information under the 
> "Travel/Entertainment" subcategory "Transit 
> Stop". There are already 20 feeds converted 
> such as New York City, Los Angeles and San Francisco, and more will follow!
>    * Support for 4 new country maps: Croatia, 
> Czech Republic, Greece, and United Arab 
> Emirates. To learn more about the supported 
> maps as well as region map bundles visit 
> <http://www.codefactory.es/en/products.asp?id=336#Maps>http://www.codefactory.es/en/products.asp?id=336#Maps 
>
>    * Easier ways to manage user POIs: You can 
> set a user POI as a route destination. Go to 
> Functions (left softkey) > Set positions > User 
> POI and you will access the POIs list. Then 
> when you press enter on the POI of your choice, 
> you can select between "Open", "Set as 
> destination", "Set as virtual position", or "Delete".
>    * Ability to create and save a route based 
> on a GPS replay. Go to Functions (left 
> softkey) > Modes > GPS Replays > GPS Replay 
> list, select a file from the list and press 
> Enter on it. The popup menu will show a new 
> option called "Create route from replay". Once 
> the route is created, you can load and follow 
> it, review its waypoints, delete the route and 
> do all the same things that you can do with any 
> other saved route in your device.
>
>Mobile Geo 2.5 is compatible with the current 
>version of Mobile Speak 4 for Windows Mobile, 
>there is no new version of Mobile Speak to install to run Geo 2.5.
