<p>Die hochdetaillierte Karte immer dabei: auch im Funkloch, in der U-Bahn und im urbanen Dschungel ohne GPS. Mit Gebäudeumrissen und Fußwegen für die ganze Stadt - nicht nur im Zentrum. Walk &amp; Ride bringt den schienenbasierten öffentlichen Nahverkehr mit S-/U- und Trambahn und offline nutzbaren Routingvorschlägen auch auf den <strong>iPod touch</strong>.</p>

Sicherheitshalber berechnet die App für das iPhone oder den iPod touch gleich drei Routen auf einmal. Die Navigation funktioniert auch ohne GPS und führt über viele Strassen und Schleichwege sicher zum Ziel. Weitere Stadtplan-Extras machen den Ausflug in die bajuwarische Metropole zu einem Erlebnis, bei dem die Orientierung nicht verloren geht. <br /></p>
<p>Vektor-Stadtplan für iPhone und iPod touch, freie Wahl des Maßstabs


</p>
<ul> 
<li>umfangreiches Verzeichnis von Straßen und Wegen</li> 
<li>Münchens Gebäude - nicht nur im Stadtzentrum<br /></li> 
<li>Routenberechnung für Fußgänger, S- und U-Bahn, Auto</li> 
</ul> 
<p>United Maps GmbH holt die Metropolen Deutschlands direkt ins iPhone und sogar in den iPod touch. Walk &amp; Ride startete mit Hamburg an der Reihe, mit München kommt die zweite Stadt der Produktlinie in den AppStore. Weitere Städte wie Berlin, Köln, Frankfurt und Stuttgart folgen in den nächsten Wochen.<br /></p> 
<p>Walk &amp; Ride 1.2 München kann GPS nutzen, ist aber dazu in der Lage, auf dem iPod touch durch einfache Eingabe des Standorts Straße/Ecke oder noch einfacher über Berührung eines beliebigen Punktes den aktuellen Standort zu bestimmen. Anschließend wird über die gleichen Optionen ein Ziel gewählt und die zeitoptimierte Route berechnet. <br /><br />Eine Besonderheit: Die Route wird gleichzeitig fürs Auto, für Fußgänger, Radfahrer und für den derzeit noch schienenbasierten öffentlichen Nahverkehr berechnet. Alle drei Routen werden gleichzeitig und mit Streckenlängen und geschätzter Reisedauer in den Stadtplan eingezeichnet. </p>

<p>Bad news? Good news?</p> 
<p> <strong>You get what you pay for.</strong></p> 
<p>Let's have a closer look into the maps, comparing samples for OVI with our <a href="http://www.unitedmaps.net/exit.php?url_id=1039&amp;entry_id=241" title="http://walknride.com/"  onmouseover="window.status='http://walknride.com/';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;">Walk &amp; Ride Hamburg</a>. Upper row&#160;<a href="http://www.unitedmaps.net/exit.php?url_id=1042&amp;entry_id=241" title="http://walknride.com"  onmouseover="window.status='http://walknride.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;"></a>is mapdata from <a href="http://www.unitedmaps.net/exit.php?url=aHR0cDovL21hcHMub3ZpLmNvbS8=&amp;entry_id=241" title="http://maps.ovi.com/"  onmouseover="window.status='http://maps.ovi.com/';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;">OVI</a>, top row below is <a href="http://www.unitedmaps.net/exit.php?url_id=1039&amp;entry_id=241" title="http://walknride.com/"  onmouseover="window.status='http://walknride.com/';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;">Walk &amp; Ride Hamburg</a>, both scaled to the same W/H dimensions.<br /></p> 
<p>You see Hamburg city center, around Hauptbahnhof (main station). You'd expect a pretty complete map there - no outskirts, no obscure small village, downtown Hamburg.<br /></p> 
<p> </p> 
<p>Here's what you get for free at OVI/Nokia/Navteq vs paid at <a href="http://www.unitedmaps.net/exit.php?url_id=1042&amp;entry_id=241" title="http://walknride.com"  onmouseover="window.status='http://walknride.com';return true;" onmouseout="window.status='';return true;"><strong>Walk &amp; Ride</strong></a>.</p> 
<p>BTW: we also rely on Navteq streetmaps - just adding some secret sauce to make the map what it should be on mobile devices: useful and relevant for <strong>pedestrians</strong>.</p>
<p>The numbers are impressive and so is the good news: people love maps. <br /></p>

The goal is to interact with massive amounts of data in new ways, using different metaphors and approaches. </p>
<blockquote>
<p>&quot;At the heart of Pivot are &quot;Collections.&quot; They combine large groups of
similar items on the Internet, so we can begin viewing the
relationships between individual pieces of information in a new way. By
visualizing hidden patterns, Pivot enables users to discover new
insights while interacting with thousands of things at once.&quot; <br /></p>
