A new PDA-software product “Pocket 2.0” has been a short while on the market, made by digital directory media manufacturer KlickTel, allowing the user to call up local information on the go.

KlickTel announces that “Pocket 2.0” is a mobile city guide. All functions relevant to a locality search – from telephone directory through classifieds through to route planning – can be directly accessed from the memory card. The service offers a city-plan view, with pedestrian and bicycle routing and a new-style map zoom function, which allows the rotation of the map though 360º. Through this, the map can display according to the direction of movement of the user.

Icons on the maps provide locations of restaurants, filling stations, hotels, tourist attractions and thousands of other points of interest. Further, the user can also view important other information such as opening times and (credit) card acceptance.

The software “Pocket 2.0” for the portable computer is only available as “KlickTel Gold-Paket 2007/2008” on a DVD, costing approximately Euro 30, which includes a telephone directory, a ‘yellow pages’ directory, a route planner and an inverse search function.
