News: Skobbler launches in UK - iPhone navigation for £1.19

pocketgpsworld.comSkobbler, the OpenSource navigation app, has launched in the UK Appstore.

Using OpenStreetMap data, Skobbler allows motorists and other users to easily report map errors and make corrections that are fed back to the OpenStreetMap community for the benefit of all users.

Map are delivered over the air (OTA) and so you benefit from constantly updated and improved map data as the user base grows. When launched in Germany, Skobbler quickly became the No1 selling navigation app for iPhone.
