Innovative map services via SMS for Belgacom

Novasys enables Belgacom Directory Assistance to offer innovative map services via SMS.

Belgacom recently launched a new mobile Mapping service allowing their clients  to receive on their mobile phone, a dynamic map confirmation related to the address they requested on the phone.

This new service launched in May 2006 with Belgacom, Proximus and Mobistar, is the first SMS application using WapPush in connection with maps over a call centre. It gives mobile users the possibility, after having requested an address or a phone number from their Directory assistance company, to receive on their mobile phone an accurate and dynamic map at different zoom levels.

This service represents one of the first map application offered by telecom operators via this new channel.
