Windows Embedded NavReady is the development tool that provides the technologies for building handheld portable navigation devices (PNDs) that connect to online services, Bluetooth-capable mobile phones, Windows-based PCs, and the Internet. Windows Embedded NavReady is based on Windows Embedded CE. PNDs built on Windows Embedded NavReady provide location-aware services and connect to other devices to make hands-free phone calls, stream music, and exchange data. The architecture of the OS supports the connected navigation device experience, which enables applications to receive information or access services from various sources, including Bluetooth-enabled devices, Internet servers, Live Search Engines, desktop computers, or car audio kits. Devices built with Windows Embedded NavReady are based on an ARM microprocessor, provide USB connectivity, and include a custom portable navigation device (PND) user interface (UI). Users can carry these devices when they are in the car or on-the-go, enabling them to stay connected with their phone contacts, music, and information about the latest news, weather, and traffic.
Windows Embedded NavReady provides new technologies in componentized form that can be incorporated into new or existing CE 5.0 designs, with the same support and product lifecycle as CE 5.0. The Bluetooth profiles delivered in NavReady are based on proven Bluetooth software stacks that are thoroughly tested and delivered on production-quality code. NavReady also provides the key elements needed to enable Internet-based Live Search: client component, API, protocol, proxy, and service; and the Windows SideShow components that help build PNDs which offer rich experiences when connected to one of many types of Windows Vista PCs via Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or USB.
