Telmap reveals instant LBS solution for operators

One package bundling local search, mapping and turn by turn navigation into customer subscriptions.

The project has been developed with NAVTEQ, with the aim of giving operators a chance to increase customer loyalty and reduce churn. 

Those that commit will benefit from a heavily discounted rate from Telmap for the basic LBS features – making it viable to include it free to consumers with GPS-enabled handsets.

So where's the money?

Telmap says operators can create premium services such as traffic information, speed cameras, micro payments, fuel prices and city guides.

There's also the advertising option, with special offers, coupons and vouchers linked to outlets nearby – and one click route to the retailer thanks to the Telmap Mobile Location Companion.

“Telmap has been a valuable partner to mobile operators for many years and with this new package, we are confident that they will now be in a great position to better compete in, master and ultimately win a significant share in the location-based services marketplace”, said Oren Nissim, Telmap CEO.
