29 January, 2005: MapInfo Corporation has announced that Gizmondo Europe Ltd, subsidiary of Jacksonville, Florida-based Tiger Telematics Inc, has selected MapInfo Envinsa location services platform to provide core functionality for a range of location services for Gizmondo. Currently launching in the United Kingdom and due for launch in Spring 2005 across Europe and the US, Gizmondo will offer an extensive range of location-based services, powered by MapInfo Envinsa, which provides mapping, routing and geocoding capabilities. These capabilities enable Gizmondo to offer critical mapping and location functionality to the end user. The initial services offer will fall into two categories: added value services for the end user - such as 'where am I?' and 'find the nearest' - and services that enhance personal safety, such as tracking and panic button features. Initially, Gizmondo Europe will offer the following services to Gizmondo mobile device users based on MapInfo capabilities-find location, map delivery, find and navigate points of interest, tracking, and personal alarm. These will be supplemented in time by location-based gaming and other services. Gizmondo services roll out will initially be in the UK, Germany, France, Spain and Italy with US and other markets to follow.
