Geeks and other enthusiasts lined up on Friday to purchase a device that is completely proprietary, controlled and wrapped in DRM. The irony was perhaps lost on some as they , docked their new devices into a proprietary media player and downloaded closed source applications.

GPS pioneer Navman shows festival goers how to make the most of their Navman sat-nav device when hot-footing it to this year’s music festivals. Many festival sites are not associated with a post code so Navman’s NavPix technology allows users to navigate using specially formatted or geo-tagged images. Meanwhile Navman’s Local Search service provides access to vital local amenities, such as the nearest petrol station, supermarket or B&B using a local directory search partner.
The NavPix technology works by adding the coordinates of a destination onto an image, which is then saved onto the Navman device. Once stored, users simply scroll through their album, choose a destination via the image and Navman calculates the best route. Navman has created a dedicated Music Festivals 2008 NavPix album, available for music fans to view, share and download geo-tagged images via the NavPix Library.
