1 July 2014 — PixelEspresso releases MapNap version 1.3, an update to its easy-to-use geolocation-based alarm app designed for the iPhone and iOS7, which introduces spoken arrival announcements.

MapNap makes commuting less stressful for sleepy, playing, reading, chatting, or otherwise preoccupied commuters who don't want to miss their station or stop, especially when it is dark outside. MapNap uses iPhone's GPS in turn-by-turn driving mode to watch the user's current location and notify the user when geofence around the tracked destination has been crossed. This is much more reliable than using ordinary geofencing apps like Reminders, which notify the user only after a certain amount of time has passed since crossing the geofence.

MapNap is available in the App Store worldwide free of charge: http://appstore.com/mapnap.

MapNap features:

• reliable location tracking and arrival detection that works in the background
• turning destination tracking on and off with a tap on the destination icon
• local notifications, spoken announcements, sound and vibration on arrival
• tracking multiple destinations at the same time (when unlocked)
• using GPS only when tracking a destination to extend battery life
• quick and easy addition of new destinations and setting up geofences around them
• stopping all tracking with a single tap of a button
• support for metric and imperial units

MapNap requires GPS signal to be available and is best used with headphones so that audible notifications are not missed.
