Garmin And uLocate - Location Based Social Networking
Boston MA (SPX) Aug 21, 2008 uLocate Communications announces an agreement with Garmin to add friend-finding capabilities to select current and future Garmin GPS devices. The partnership leverages APIs on uLocate's WHERE platform to enable Garmin users to easily find and connect with friends nearby through the leading friend finding network, Buddy Beacon. "The team over at uLocate continues to drive innovation with their open WHERE platform, enabling the broadest set of location based applications across the largest distribution network in wireless," said Jeff Rath, vice president, global head of technology research of Canaccord Adams. "This represents a powerful combination - the largest PND manufacturer and the dominant platform in the market bringing together the universe of location enabled connected devices." With access to WHERE's Buddy Beacon network, Garmin customers will be able to connect with their friends, share their location and update their status across a variety of online social networking sites including Facebook. Unlike other friend-finding applications, WHERE's Buddy Beacon operates seamlessly across multiple networks, making it possible to connect with friends regardless of phone or carrier.
