We’re excited to announce the release of Mapufacture Mobile. All your maps and feeds are now available whereever you are, and geolocated to your position. We partnered up with uLocate to develop our widget on their very powerful, and easy to develop for, WHERE platform.

Mapufacture Mobile is an extension of the website. Through the website users can find interesting feeds and sources and put these on maps in various areas of interest. For instance, you can build a map of your community with local government notifications, weather reports, news, and friends’ locations. You can also build a map of a city you are traveling to with the locations of your hotel and venues, travel information, and restaurants.

Then, using Mapufacture Mobile, these maps are then available and show nearby items from the selected feed sources. So your community map would show news, events, and friends that are nearby using the geolocation on Mapufacture Mobile. Similarly. when the you move, new nearby items are shown and can be viewed on the map. Individual feeds that user has favorited are also available to view as desired, sorted by their distance from you.

Think of it as a geolocated, mobile KML and GeoRSS reader.

Besides the user’s own maps and feeds, Mapufacture Mobile allows you to view any feed or map that covers the area you are in. So if they are in a new city, or looking for some new local information, you can just view other feeds and maps made by other users.

Mapufacture Mobile also provides a general search mechanism to search the entire Mapufacture geoindex for any interesting items near you. These can also be shown on a map to give you an idea of the layout of the area around them and find interesting and informative things around you.

Mapufacture Mobile is currently only available on Sprint phones through the WHERE platform, but as the platform expands, we’ll expand with it. We also plan on offering mobile interfaces through a variety of other systems that we’ll announce in the near future.

The Mobile version was originally released at Where2.0 this year. You can find the uLocate Press Release and the O’Reilly Radar post. Since then we’ve added a lot of enhancements both to Mapufacture and Mapufacture Mobile.
