Vodafone UK and Telmap team up with Multimap
22 July 2008
Vodafone UK and Telmap have partnered with Microsoft's Multimap to launch Find & Go - a service that links a web-mapping portal with navigation and local search on a mobile phone. 

The service enables Vodafone customers to search for a destination on a PC on the Multimap website and send the search result to a mobile phone - free of charge. They can then get driving directions from Multimap's Driving Direction Service, or use the Find & Go service to get turn-by-turn pedestrian or driving directions.

Find & Go also suggests alternative routes and ETA based on traffic conditions.

Mobile network positioning means that users don't need to wait for their GPS-embedded handsets to pick up a satellite signal, and searching for locations is possible even indoors or out of the GPS signal range.
