TeleType Releases Free WorldNav Waypoint Converter

Boston, MA, June 12, 2009 --(PR.com)-- TeleType is pleased to announce the availability of free software allowing the WorldNav GPS Text to Waypoint Converter free of charge which will allow conversion of properly formatted text files into the WorldNav GPS waypoint format. This new converter simplifies the process of importing previously stored waypoints into the WorldNav format so instead of manually entering in a large amount of waypoints, users are able to quickly and easily convert any number of waypoints into the WorldNav format.

The resulting waypoint files can be used on any of TeleType’s top of the line WorldNav devices or mapping software for implementation in creating user-generated routes that can include an unlimited number of waypoints. The conversion software is compatible on both Windows XP and Vista, allowing for usage on both major PC platforms.

Established in 1981, TeleType has emerged to become a leader in the field of Global Positioning Systems. TeleType specializes in user-friendly commercial GPS software navigation and offers advanced developer tools such as Software Development Kits (SDK) which offer APIs to developers wishing to have their programs interact directly with the TeleType WorldNav navigation program for WinCE-based portable navigation devices. The developer tools also offer third party developers the ability to convert maps into the TeleType WorldNav format as well as tools to interact with the navigation engine of the WorldNav navigation software. The new waypoint converter is included with the SDK. TeleType offers developers tools for converting maps from the popular ESRI shapefile format to the TeleType Map (TTM) format allowing developers to implement their own maps into navigation systems of their choice. TeleType developers can license the TeleType navigation code which offers patent pending technology.
