Telmap launches free GPS navigation, mapping and local search with Orange France
07 December 2010
Telmap, a European mobile location-based services provider, has announced the launch of Orange Maps V2 at Orange France, a mobile location-based service based on Telmap’s Location Companion especially designed to accompanying users throughout their on-the-go experience, going beyond in-car and pedestrian navigation.
Orange Maps navigation will be included on all GPS-enabled devices including iPhone as part of all Origami tariff plans that come with data packages. It will enable users to search for and access up-to-date information from a variety of content providers and to perform pedestrian and mobile navigation.
“Orange France is an innovative operator who fully understands the power of location-based services, and users’ need for up-to-date information while on the-go. Orange Maps V2 provides Orange users with an ultra local experience that goes beyond navigation, bringing additional useful and relevant local content such as gas prices, restaurant guide, and bicycle stations information. Telmap and Orange are expanding the service, adding more and more local content and community services like Wikango, and we are confident that Orange users will appreciate the thoughtful design, and the rich offering that creates a unique, differentiated and truly local service,” said Oren Nissim, Telmap CEO.
