Skobbler unveils offline iPhone map for Europe
Disruptive mapping firm Skobbler has announced the launch of ForeverMap Europe, an offline map based on OpenStreetMap data. Designed for use with the iPhone, iPad and iPod, ForeverMap is available as a premium download from the UK App Store. Full comprehensive map data of Europe is downloaded onto the mobile device, which can then be instantly accessed without an internet connection.
Numbers up
There were growing signs of a turnaround in the industry this week, with a number of mobile players reporting investor-satisfying quarters. First up was once-troubled handset vendor Sony Ericsson, which delivered its second consecutive quarterly profit during Q2 with a whopping €12m. Ok, it’s not a lot but it’s better than the loss of €213m delivered in the second quarter of last year, although it is down from a profit of €21m in Q1.
iPhone finds free navigation with Skobbler
Competition is certainly warming up in the navigation space, with iPhone users finally getting a free turn by turn offering in the shape of Skobbler. In partnership with the OpenStreetMap community, Skobbler has made some waves in the market with its community-based approach to mapping and navigation.
