Fullpower-MotionX has selected INRIX to provide traffic information for its MotionX-GPS Drive navigation app for iPhone and iPad.

INRIX, an international provider of real-time traffic information and connected driving services, says its goal is to ensure that drivers have the most accurate view of traffic conditions wherever they go.

It does so by combining crowd-sourced data from pretty much anything, like the 30 million connected vehicles and devices, traditional road sensors, accident and incident reports, and several other sources, both public and private.

The end result is a highly enhanced MotionX-GPS Drive app that is now able to cover more than a million miles of highways, arterials and city streets across the United States.

The app also features live traffic, turn-by-turn voice guidance, HD synthesized and natural voice options, and integration with Wikipedia and Facebook.

MotionX-GPS Drive customers with an active Live Voice Guidance package will get INRIX traffic information completely free of charge.

"We're thrilled to be working with Fullpower-MotionX to bring INRIX real-time traffic to its millions of users," said Bryan Mistele, president and CEO of INRIX.

"MotionX is the leader and INRIX real-time and predictive traffic information is updated every minute ensuring the millions of MotionX consumers have the latest information to help them save time, use less fuel and avoid frustrating delays on their daily commutes," Mistele added.

Philippe Kahn, chairman of Fullpower-MotionX, chimed in to say “As the innovators for voice-guided navigation, MotionX is proud to feature INRIX, the leaders for reliable traffic information.”

“With INRIX, we've doubled our traffic coverage in North America, ensuring the fully-live, real-time connected experience our customers have come to expect.”

MotionX GPS Drive is compatible with iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, and requires iOS 3.0 or later. First-generation iPhones and iPod touch devices are supported. The app costs one buck. Download MotionX GPS Drive
