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 industrys most comprehensive Social Location
functionality (detailed below). MapMan is highly modular and
customizable and can be implemented with Spimes 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
|
|
|

MapMans
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.
