Tierravision Selects GDT Street Info for Wireless Mapping Project
Geographic Data Technology Inc. (GDT) will provide U.S. and Canadian street information to Tierravision Ltd. for Micromap, their advanced wireless mapping product that supports real-time downloads of map data and content for wireless devices. With Micromap, users can locate addresses, zoom in and out of a specific geographic area, and download traffic data and weather reports to any handheld device that runs PocketPC, Palm, J2ME, or similar operating systems.
      Tierravision develops wireless mapping technology for "smart" phones and wireless-connected PDAs. The company uses vector data compression technology and a micro-sized mapping engine to provide 5x downloads as compared to conventional bitmap implementations.
