Telmap, the company that provides white-label managed location-based services for mobile operators around the world, unveiled location-aware Facebook widget, allowing users to share location along with “what’s on their mind” with friends on the popular social network. The updated status with the location graphically depicted by a map will be visible on the user’s Facebook wall.
In order to share location via Facebook, users either go through the widgets carousel or any location details screen in the application.
The new Facebook Widget, called Telmap Mobile Location Companion, will be available in a variety of markets worldwide in the near future — no specific dates were announced.
Commenting on the new feature launch, Telmap’s CMO Motti Kushnir said: “Telmap is a location-based services innovator. We are proud of our efforts to enrich one’s physical, actual location at a specific moment in time with information about what their online, social networking activity. The accumulated information about locations, recommended or commented on by one’s friends will result in better content exploration as well as higher level of trust and comfort in the service.”
