Locamagic is a GPS and NAC (i.e. Universal Address) enhanced location based services suite for cellphones and PDAs (see CNBC TV Clip). Currently it supports the following Motorola iDEN phones: More and more phones and PDAs will be added to the above list. Locamagic covers a geographic area of more than 30 countries in North America, South America, Europe and Asian-Pacific Region. Locamagic provides almost all kinds of location based services you may need: address management, locating, navigating, business searching, tracking and friends monitoring for more than 30 countries in North America, South America, Europe and Asia Pacific region, supported by accurate location, heading and speed from GPS, detail street information, local street maps, turn-by-turn driving instructions, route maps, real-time navigating instructions, and detail business and facility information in all categories.

Locamagic will help you answer all these questions: What is my current Universal Address, Longitude/Latitude/Altitude, Speed and Heading? What are the street addresses and places around my current location? Can I get the maps of my current location? What are the Universal Address and Longitude/Latitude of any of my interested street addresses? Can I get the maps of any of my interested street addresses? What are the Longitude/Latitude of any Universal Address? What are the nearby street addresses and places of any Universal Address? Can I see the maps of any Universal Address? Can I get the total driving distance, total driving time and turn-by-turn driving directions from any location including my current location to any destination? Can I get the route map for driving from any location including my current location to any destination? Can I get real-time navigating instruction (i.e. the real-time distance to my next turn) during driving? Can I see my current location and direction on the route map? Can I get a local map showing my current location when I am driving? Can I get a map showing all the nearby businesses or facilities in any specified category around any location including my current location? Can I get a list of all the nearby businesses or facilities with name, street address, Universal Address and phone number in any specified category around any location including my current location? Can I directly call a business on the above found list without typing the phone number? Can I directly get the detail driving directions and navigating instructions to any of the businesses of the found list without type their addresses? Can my family know exactly where I am during a trip? Can I see exactly where my friends are now? Can I call any of my friends displaying on the map and list without typing their phone number? About NAC NAC stands for Natural Area Code that can be used to represent both areas and locations anywhere in the world. Using a NAC instead of a street address can reduce 80% of key input, avoid difficulties in typing addresses with foreign characters, skip the process of geocoding, eliminate errors from address databases, and most importantly, extend the location services to all locations and areas in the world no matter whether there are addresses or not. You can use two, four or six character NACs to specify areas or locations, and eight or ten character NACs to specify only locations anywhere in the world. A two character NAC can specify an area about 1000km x 750km area; a four character NAC can specify an area like a city (30km x 25km); a six character NAC can specify an area about one square kilometer anywhere in the world. When these NACs are used to specify locations on Locamagic, they always represent the centers of the corresponding areas. Eight or ten character NACs represents quite small areas (35m x 25m and 1.2m x 0.8m respectively) roughly equivalent to addresses and therefore they are also called Universal Addresses that can uniquely specify individual buildings, gates, houses, doors, sewage exits, street lights, electric wire poles, trees, park benches, BBQ tables, and other fixed objects in the world. They can even be used as Global Postal Codes to sort all mail (both domestic and international mail) automatically. Since NACs are the coordinates of the Universal Map Grids, people can directly pinpoint them on all kinds of maps in any scales and projections provided that the maps have the Universal Map Grids. Therefore, all people in the world can use NACs as Universal Addresses, Global Postal Codes, Universal Area Codes, Geographic Coordinates, Universal Map Grids, Universal Map Sheet Identifiers, Universal Photograph Identifiers and Universal Property Identifiers. Here is an example of a Universal Address of our building: NAC: 8CNJ Q8ZG from which you can extract all its local NACs: NAC: 8CN Q8Z represents its one square kilometer neighborhood NAC: 8C Q8 represents roughly its local city (i.e. Toronto) NAC: 8 Q represents roughly its province (i.e. Ontario) Natural Area Codes and Universal Addresses have made the representations of absolute geographic areas and accurate locations very short, easy for consumers to remember, easy for small devices to display, easy for consumers to input into small devices, easy to be included on business cards and yellow pages. It really makes absolute areas and locations expressed in a very consumer-friendly way. The introduction of the Natural Area Coding System in the world represents the start of a new era for using accurate location just like the era for using accurate time. People will use the Universal Address to record the exact location of an accident, a crime, a parking location, an emergency location, the location of dating or any of many many other locations in daily activities.
