Umibot is all kinds of tired from several days in Las Vegas, where Urban Mapping brought together industry leaders for two days of off the record discussion about the ‘state of local.’ The event was billed as a ‘part salon, part workshop,’ recognizing that a substantive and engaging dialog is best set in a relaxed and informal environment.
UMI brought together industry stalwarts and upstarts. Analysts presented research, executives shared key insights and the group worked (and ate and drank) through the complexities, nuances and opportunities around local search: geotargeting perils and realities, ‘market inversion’ around local ad inventory, mobile growth, user behavior and market forces.

It happened a few weeks ago, but Umibot is just now getting around to posting…UMI is one of 15 companies nominated for the semi-finals of the annual NAVTEQ Global LBS Challenge. We aren’t sure how many entrants there were, but we are privileged to be included in this group.
The UMI application is based on the highly structured data than comprises our Urbanware: Mass Transit data product. Built on the where.com platform, Urban Mapping was able to quickly develop for mobile using uLocate’s location-aware platform.
Finalists will be announced April 2 in Las Vegas during CTIA Wireless.
