After the deal with Ordnance Survey for UK listings, mobile location services provider Telmap is partnering with Das Örtliche, Germany’s leading local directory to integrate their local businesses database into Telmap mobile location companion. As a result, folks relying on Telmap apps to navigate through Germany will get to access richer points of interest (POI) information.
Those unfamiliar, myself included, should know that Das Örtliche is edited by 100 publishers in cooperation with Deutsche Telekom Medien. It exists as a book with more than 1,000 different publications, online, and on the mobile with unique apps for several platforms. With more than 3.5 million business listings and around 30 million listings in total, Das Örtliche is one of the top ten German mobile websites and among the top 20 used internet websites in the country.
Telmap on its end provides white-label solutions to mobile operators and handset makers, and prides itself for delivering the “most localized location companion tailored to specific segments, markets and geographies.”
