Telmap announced that it has partnered with Ordnance Survey to integrate their Points of Interest product into Telmap’s location-based services and provide richer POI information in Great Britain.
Ordnance Survey’s POI database covers England, Scotland and Wales and includes around 4 million different geographic data points, collecting data from over 170 suppliers, all of which are authoritative sources in their respective fields. The database offers a mass of local content, direct access to many businesses, tourist attractions, and other daily life destinations like banks, ATMs, post offices and more.
Telmap will bundle Ordnance Survey’s content in its Telmap Mobile Location Companion product, which the company offers as a white label solution to mobile operators around the world. In addition to maps and navigation, Telmap also offers a variety of location-related content such as traffic, speed cameras and points of interest information.
Commenting on the deal, Telmap’s CMO Said Motti Kushnir said: “Telmap is working with mobile operators to bring the most localized, up-to-date information to consumers. Partnering with OS, a brand well known for its quality and extensive information is a demonstration of our ongoing search for the best content suppliers in each locale, in order to provide end-users with a customized and unique location experience.”
