Why attend?
The Location Based Services (LBS) industry is undergoing a profound transformation in 2005. A new generation of mapping applications is changing the way we think about maps and location on the Internet. Some of the largest wireless carriers in the world are deploying new location-aware handsets with improved application capabilities across their entire network. Higher accuracy map data is being made available for more parts of the world than ever, and new types of data such as traffic and photographic points of interest are now available.
As a leading provider of geospatial software solutions to the industry, deCarta is at the center this transformation. This conference is a unique opportunity to get first hand knowledge from the technologists and experts that are bringing those new capabilities to market. Attendees will meet key members of deCarta's development team and partners and have a chance to interact directly with the architects and designers of the leading LBS products, services and applications.
Key Takeaways
Attendees will hear about these topics and more:
- Maps as the new user experience: using location and proximity to present information in a new way, making different associations and correlation to increase effectiveness of search and decision-making
- Behind the location APIs: demystifying how location is determined in mobile networks
- Techniques to integrate new, volatile location-oriented data
- Improved route guidance and turn-by-turn applications on mobile telephones
- What you should know before taking your application internationally
