DigitalGlobe Satellite Imagery on Mobile Phones via amAze LONDON, May 25, 2007 - Satnews Daily - LocatioNet Systems, Ltd., a provider of mobile mapping and location applications, and DigitalGlobe, a provider of imagery and geospatial information products, have entered into a partnership that adds DigitalGlobe's global satellite imagery to the amAze mobile service.

DigitalGlobe has joined the amAze collaborative initiative, led by LocatioNet. LocatioNet's GIS technology enables fast enough streaming of aerial photos from the huge backend databases to client mobile phones over wireless networks, to allow real-time navigation over the aerial photo.

This collaboration means that for the first time, worldwide voice-guided GPS navigation is enabled over high-resolution satellite imagery and aerial photos with regular mass-market phones.

amAze is a navigation, mapping and local search service supported by several industry leading vendors. It offers services free to mobile users and generates revenue from the emerging mobile advertisement model. The application provides any regular, Java-enabled mobile phone with navigation and local search information over maps and DigitalGlobe satellite imagery in Europe and North America. A full voice-guided navigation feature is available for users with any Bluetooth GPS device.
