How It WorksAny location can be created and shared as a PinPointA PinPoint is like a URL that can be delivered to phones by SMS, EmailClicking the PinPoint displays the location in the phones navigation softwarePinPoint doesn’t require any additional software to be downloaded/installed |
What is PinPoints about?
yourpinpoints.com allows an address, like "221B Baker Street, London" to be converted in something like http://directions.to/sherlockholmes
- this can be inserted into emails, SMS, forum posts, blogs, tweets etc.
What's really neat about PinPoints ?
The shortened URL is smart! When you click on it on web browsers it will open in online maps, but here is the real clever bit, when you click on it via a BlackBerry device it will open in BlackBerry Maps, when you click on it via a Nokia smartphone it will open in Nokia Maps and for iPhone users it will open Google Maps and so on. PinPoints figures out what navigation software you have and will show the sent location.
It's like if PinPoints reaches into your sat-nav and programs it for you.
What if the phone doesn't have mapping software?
Don't worry the smart link will figure out what type of phone it is and present the location via text and images.
What's an everyday example of PinPoints in business?
This is our typical solution for Internet Booking Engine companies.
