Topographic Maps, Buddy Location and GPS for Windows Mobile 5.0 Phones

TopoPhone provides outdoor recreation enthusiasts with a better GPS solution by turning a cell phone with built-in GPS into a complete Topographic mapping system. TopoPhone is superior to traditional GPS units, because it uses the phone to download maps automatically, and allows you to see where your friends and family are located.

Las Vegas, NV - May 11, 2005 - Today at the Microsoft MEDC2005, Sylvan Ascent Inc. is introducing TopoPhone, a new kind of GPS topographic mapping software for mobile phones. It has become commonplace for people to bring along a cell phone, topographic maps and GPS receiver when going hiking, skiing, hunting, or snowmobiling. TopoPhone combines all of these into your cell phone, and adds something new; the ability to see where the other people in your party are located. TopoPhone makes it harder to get lost yourself, and easier to find or rescue others who are lost or injured.
