Idevio's Open Map Browser

LBS
Today is the official announcement of the Locago map browser from Sweden's Idevio. It's being shown in Barcelona at the Mobile World Congress. You may have heard of it's RaveGeo vector data compression and streaming technology. Most of the company's customers are from Europe - Ericsson, SAAB and several military users.

Locago is a free downloadable platform for end-users, but really the company is offering a delivery mechanism for mobile and or location-based apps and content. The product/apps will be available in Q2 and as I understand it, some will be free others, for fee. My first thought was it was along the lines of uLocate's WHERE. However, the press release does not really highlight the benefits of the platform beyond that it uses RaveGeo.

The idea is that you should have mobile access to a multitude of map layers. Communities, companies and people can publish their own data as a layer that will be accessible to all users and you get routing and guidance to all objects. Typical layers comes from social communities like flickr, wikipedia and facebook or companies like hotel chains or publishers of tourist guides or news. Equally interesting is very local layers like nice anchoring points from your local boat club or bird watchers latest "twitches". We hope that both map geeks and the general public will find Locago interesting. More information will be published soon at http://locago.com.
