Wayfinder announces the launch if its award winning Power Search technology on iPhone and iPod touch. The technology allows for searching a multitude of databases through one unified search field allowing millions of iPhone and iPod touch users to access information covering up to 100 million local search records around the world.
A user can enter a phone number, a persons name or a company name and the Wayfinder Power Search application will return relevant search results. Through agreements with several database providers around the world the end-user will receive relevant answers for the specific country where the search is being made, be it the United States, the U.K., France or elsewhere. The Wayfinder Power Search application also leverages the built-in iPhone Map application, making it easy for subscribers to find the location of the Power Search results quickly. The search engine is based on Tele Atlas digital map data, to which information from a number of other premium databases is added. For a limited time the premium travel content from Wcities will be searchable as well.
“We are pleased to deliver an on-line content service to the iPhone and iPod touch user base. This is our first step in supporting Location Based Services on Apple devices. We plan to continue this effort by offering additional interesting location applications for Apple devices in the future”, says Magnus Nilsson, CEO of Wayfinder.
“Accurate digital maps and related content are the foundation of powerful location-based services and applications. With our data and Wayfinder’s Power Search application, the vibrant community of iPhone and iPod touch users can get an even more personalized experience from their devices”, says Jack Reinelt, COO EMEA, Tele Atlas.
