New GPS Devices Added to Remote Testing Service

The NAVTEQ Virtual Developer Lab (VDL) is powered by DeviceAnywhere and is a remote testing service enabling you to test your LBS apps on real handsets (with GPS signal) in live networks. You get access to the market’s most popular GPS devices – all in one place.

HTC Arrive
16 new devices − based in the DeviceAnywhere Test Center™ in San Mateo (CA) and running live on the four major networks in North America (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon) − were added to the NAVTEQ VDL during April 2011, including:

  • Latest Android phones from HTC, Motorola and Samsung
  • Two new Windows Phone 7 phones from HTC
  • Two Android 3.0 based tablets from Motorola and Samsung
  • Additional iPhone, BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and feature phones

The service now covers approximately 110 GPS enabled devices for LBS app testing. The devices are located in DeviceAnywhere Test Centers in the U.S. and UK with a broad range of operators including AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, O2, Vodafone, and Orange.

Free Testing Hours for NN4D Members

Did you know that all members of NAVTEQ Network for Developers™ (NN4D) get five free testing hours, good for 21 days after your profile/account has been set up in the NAVTEQ VDL? NAVTEQ App Warehouse partners even get up to 10 hours. After the initial free test hours, NN4D members benefit from heavily discounted testing fees.

DeviceAnywhere offers weekly webinars to help you get started with remote testing.
