PRESS RELEASE
Sanoodi Releases SMap for BlackBerry Storm, a Free GPS Route and Activity Recording Application, with Added Twitter
BANGOR, Wales, Jan. 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Sanoodi announces a
new release of SMap - its free route recording and sharing application
for the BlackBerry Storm. The company is really excited about this
news; here's its press release in full:
Based in North Wales, UK, Sanoodi (http://www.sanoodi.com/)
is a popular geo-social website that lets its community record, upload
and share outdoor activities on the web, whether they are running,
hiking, kayaking, riding a bicycle or walking the dog. Sanoodi has
announced the launch of SMap, an integrated and free route recording
application for the BlackBerry Storm.
SMap (http://www.sanoodi.com/gomobile/)
has been developed to work in conjunction with the new Sanoodi website.
The BlackBerry Storm release includes a live Twitter feed and a number
of enhancements to improve the accuracy of what is being recorded and
the ability to export routes as GPX or KML files. Unlike its
competition, SMap can be used to record routes online (connected to the
Internet) and offline, broadening its appeal and range of locations
where it can be used. Sanoodi has developed a specific application for
each mobile platform and SMap is now available on Apple iPhone 3G,
Windows Mobile phones and PDA's. An Android version of SMap is due for
release in Q1 2009.
"The release of the BlackBerry Storm version with added Twitter to
our range of free applications for mobile devices allows our community
to share their adventures direct from their phone just about anywhere
in the world," said Paul Sandham, COO of Sanoodi.
In addition to the new Twitterfied version of SMap, and by user
demand, the Sanoodi website will this week add a number of new social
features. Groups will give Sanoodi users the ability to create their
own groups and invite friends to join, add and share their routes.
"With Sanoodi and SMap we see the opportunity to go well beyond
building a simple web-based community," says Sanoodi CTO Rhys Jones.
"Extending SMap to feed other popular social sites and LBS applications
like Twitter, Facebook and Locly are fundamental to the growth of our
community in 2009."
