Earthcomber, touted as "the ultimate personal navigator," is introducing itself to users of Windows-powered PDAs and smartphones. This free service has already generated substantial buzz among Palm-powered loyalists.
To the naked eye, Earthcomber first appears like any other type of navigation software - except that its GPS-enabled maps for all territories in the U.S. are conspicuously missing a price tag. All maps, "Look Lists" and "Community" features are entirely free, providing users with tremendous new travel tools at no cost.
However, the power of Earthcomber is its unique exploration ability. Unlike search-box style, web-dependent mobile search programs, Earthcomber's trademark and patent-pending service lets people set up and automate the equivalent of "play lists," then searches constantly for vast and diverse personal interests as the user moves around the local landscape or distant destinations.
