Lost? Not Anymore! A Look at Indigo Nav!

Welcome back all you Tech Connectors! If you are looking for a reliable way to get where you're going then you've come to the right place! Whether its iOS or Android, the Indigo Nav app is the perfect tool to use when you're on the move!

Like its predecessor, Nearby Explorer, the new Indigo Nav App uses GPS to provide turn by turn instructions, but this time you'll receive additional information to provide a better understanding of your surroundings such as a description of upcoming intersections. And just like Nearby Explore, you can use the Look Around Wand feature to get a brief description of anything you point your phone at.

That's not all! The real value of Indigo Nav is the ease by which you can search, save and store various locations. Obviously you'll want to program in your home address to navigate back to, but you could just as easily save and name any spot you visit! Searching is easy too, either enter a street address, browse nearby locations or draw information directly from your Contacts and you'll be on your way in no time!

Join Cory and Luke as they give a brief rundown of all the main features of this exciting free app.
