The MapMan LBS Platform powers Social Location for applications, services and location based content on Smartphones, Tablets, Slates, Netbooks, Notebooks and Desktop PCs.
The MapMan Platform enables the industry’s most comprehensive Social Location functionality (detailed below). MapMan is highly modular and customizable and can be implemented with Spime’s readymade modules where location becomes a standard component of the device software stack and / or service provider offering. LBS functionality is deeply integrated across the tasks on any device and available when and where it adds value through the below Service Modules:
| • |
Native device application, browser, productivity application integration modules |
| • |
Location sharing, social location and location friending modules |
| • |
Pre-integrated content modules – Web POIs, map attributes, premium services and content |
| • |
Advertising and couponing module integrated with 3 rd party advertising and content servers |
| • |
Spime Map Viewer and turn by turn Navigation application modules |
| • |
Location tracking and geo fencing modules |
| |
|
MapMan’s “true” hybrid architecture powering applications with superior Social Location functionality and map display quality whether connected to the Internet or Not. Because the MapMan Platform, map and POI data and applications are pre-installed on the device, users have complete map related functionality even when not connected. When connected the MapMan Platform dynamically fetches Web content and services enabled through Spime Cloud Based Services. Users can discover, trial and purchase additional maps, dynamic POIs, and premium dynamic services as well as receive highly relevant coupon offerings and advertisements.
MapMan currently supports Win 7, Win XP, Win CE, Windows Mobile 6.5 and Android. Windows Phone 7 and other operating systems as requested are planned for the near future.

MapMan LBS Platform, Cloud Based Services and SDK |
MapMan's “true” hybrid architecture provides a competitive advantage because Social Location is deeply integrated across the many tasks performed on devices and because complete location functionality is available whether connected or not . Other popular mapping services require a user to be connected to the Internet and thereby limit when and where mapping services are available. The hybrid approach also optimizes the use of the device and the cloud.
End users benefit with quicker mapping functionality and lower wireless data costs because they use the network less. Carriers benefit with optimized network utilization. And, both carriers and OEMs are empowered with control over brand, roadmap and monetization of highly differentiated solutions across their device portfolios.
