Networks In Motion (NIM), the award-winning wireless navigation and location-based services (LBS) company, today announced that its NAVBuilder™ Developer Program is available to Sprint independent software vendors through the Sprint Application Developer Program, which offers an array of developer resources that make it easy to create, test and deploy innovative wireless applications for Sprint’s CDMA and iDEN networks.

NIM’s NAVBuilder Developer Program and related products provide software developers with a sophisticated platform for the integration of LBS into their applications.
