3 Italia will be offering a tailor made version of Wayfinder Navigator 6 on five of their best-selling mobile phones on the Italian market. For 119EUR the offer will give a Nokia LD3W (Sirf 3) Bluetooth GPS and a one-year 3 Navigator licence, with free access to the data channel for that period. The user will then have the best of GPS navigation in their mobile phones, with a range of extras including radars and speed traps, information on selected local services and locations of particular interest and much more.

"It's great to be adding Wayfinder's state-of-the-art navigation technology to the package we already offer our customers in Italy" says Dina Ravera, COO 3 Italia. "We want to provide an unbeatable service, and in terms of navigation, Wayfinder does that for us."

3 Italia will offer renewal periods to customers who wish to retain the service after a year.
