amAze GPS is one of the world's most popular off-board mobile phone navigation services with over 500 supported mobile phone models and millions of downloads from all over the world.

In addition to the existing rich features including worldwide navigation, mapping, speed camera alerts, rich POI, weather and more, the new version 5.2 offers users also the option to share their location with a selected list of their Facebook friends via amAze GPS. A new Facebook interface was added to the mobile application to allow amAze users to view the last known address or map location of their friends.

We are sure that it will get a warm welcome amongst our loyal users. All privacy aspects were addressed".
