Wikimap
Wikimap® makes the mobile device an important neighborhood location resource. It allows you to accurately show your location on a street or a satellite map even with no Internet connection (offline maps). It provides detailed information for points of interest nearby using Wiki.Alumni.NET pages which are supplied by the 5 million members of Alumni.NET. You can use Wikimap to search for nearby establishments such as hospitals, banks, restaurants, and stores. Within each wiki page, Wikimap can be used to view more detailed information such as phone numbers, store hours, restaurant menus, mass schedules, hotel photos, and hotel reviews. It has a simple interface for creating new points, and uploading pictures which are automatically shared to Alumni.NET users.
Wikimap Features
- Save Open Street Maps (OSM) for offline map navigation and browsing.
- Proximity search to find the nearest point of interest such as bank, fuel station, and restaurant.
- Support for browsing of non-Wiki.Alumni.NET pages.
- Browse satellite maps (Microsoft Virtual Earth) to determine your current location and points of interest.
- Save and view personal points and pictures.
- Option to always center current location on the map.
Offline maps are useful for users with limited data phone plans, for users going to areas with no internet connectivity, or for users avoiding roaming charges. Locally stored maps are more responsive and battery life is longer since there is no 3-G, Edge, or Wifi access. Download maps for cities like San Francisco, New York, London, Paris, Tokyo, Los Angeles, and Manila easily with Wikimap.
