Appello Maploader on the Wisepilot platform

Gothenburg, Sweden, February 17, 2010: Appello Systems, the supplier of Wisepilot, Europe's leading real-time navigation and local search service now introduces Maploader to its platform. A service which enables the user to pre-load high quality maps to the mobile phone and always have them available, regardless connectivity.

Appello introduces Wisepilot Maploader, enabling end-users to pre-load high quality maps directly to their mobile phone in batches of country by country. The Wisepilot platform is already recognized to be the most data efficient online navigation solution with 3-4 times less data than competitive solutions. By introducing the Maploader functionality with its additional 75% reduction of data download volume; we will also address end-users who perceive that pure online navigation solutions lead to high data consumption and costs. Wisepilot Maploader also offers consumers to use normal mapping and panning in maps without GPS connection. Wisepilot Maploader will offer pre-loading of maps through OTA (over-the-air) and Wi-Fi directly from the application within the new “My Maps” function. Initially 60 countries will be offered.

“We see pre-loading of maps as a key function which will be highly appreciated by our customers. Now, when the map data will be local and address key users who earlier have questioned the roaming cost barrier, it reinforces our platform towards being the most efficient.” says Martin Svensson, CEO at Appello.

“Our vision is to offer our customers a product with the highest perceived end-user value and usability possible. The Maploader also enables consumer to use maps and panning in maps without connectivity and in case of poor coverage” Martin Svensson continues.

Wisepilot Maploader is utilizing components from Idevio AB, specializing in map compression and streaming.
