Singapore, –The GEODNET Foundation is revolutionizing car navigation with the launch of GEO-PULSE, a groundbreaking GPS device designed to deliver unprecedented positioning accuracy. Leveraging GEODNET, the world’s largest RTK network, GEO-PULSE combines cutting-edge sensor fusion technology with an accessible price point, ensuring every driver can enjoy precision navigation.
With 1.4 billion vehicles worldwide, reliable GPS positioning is a persistent challenge, often compromised by obstacles like parking garages, trees, buildings, and atmospheric interference. GEO-PULSE addresses these issues head-on, reducing location errors from 1–3 meters to less than 0.1 meters under typical driving conditions. At an introductory price of just $129, GEO-PULSE includes one year of GEODNET’s enhanced location accuracy service.
Seamless Integration and Improved Navigation
GEO-PULSE connects effortlessly to iOS and Android devices via Bluetooth, significantly improving the accuracy of the “Blue Dot” for everyday navigation. The result? Precise turn-by-turn directions and superior compatibility with navigation apps like Google Maps, as well as immersive experiences such as augmented reality displays.
Earn Rewards with the GEO-PULSE Quest App
The accompanying Quest mobile app offers users the opportunity to earn cryptocurrency rewards. By completing navigation-based tasks, users contribute to GEODNET’s network verification and receive real-time crypto-token rewards, enhancing both user engagement and network reliability.
Developer-Friendly and Blockchain-Ready
GEO-PULSE is ideal for developers, with a Software Developer Kit (SDK) slated for release by Q2 2025. Additionally, the device integrates with IoTeX’s decentralized infrastructure solutions, enabling blockchain verifiability. Users can register their GEO-PULSE device with a decentralized identity (ioID) and submit zero-knowledge activity proofs via IoTeX’s W3bstream service. This integration supports innovative applications such as decentralized ride-sharing platforms. Active users participating in IoTeX’s program receive rewards in $IOTX tokens.
Availability and Shipping
Orders for GEO-PULSE open on November 20, 2024, through select GEODNET distributors. Deliveries are expected to begin in January 2025.
With GEO-PULSE, the GEODNET Foundation is not just redefining GPS navigation but also paving the way for decentralized and verifiable mobile solutions.
