NEWS: AmAze hopes to amaze with free mobile route planning

Sponsored directions and mapping

AmAze put itself on the map today with the UK launch of a service providing GPS-integrated route planning and directions, as well as satellite imagery and worldwide maps.

It is funded entirely by advertising and sponsorship.

Run by LocatioNet, the service uses a Java application to display maps and photographs on a wide variety of mobile phones, as well as picking up location information from in-built (or Bluetooth-connected) GPS equipment.
