"Walk & Ride" is an upcoming iPhone app that takes hyperlocal maps and onboard routing to the iPhone and iPod Touch. iPod Touch? Sure - this is the other 50% of the installed base and they should have access to sweet maps also.
The short video
demos "Walk & Ride" core functionality and makes the case for 'better maps give better apps'. "Walk & Ride" provides always-on pedestrian and public transit navigation,
doesn't need (but may use) GPS and comes up with the best map available.
Here we go - the Appstar Awards expected a 30sec video to be published to YouTube - and this is what they got:
I would have liked to change the Video Startscreen to something else - honestly - but You Tube didn't let me do so. So: No, this ain't a video about Mr Eric Schmidt, this is about better maps - ours.
If you're one of the 120 million german speaking humans around: see the pre-launch website at http://walknride.com with additional information. If you ain't: wait for the launch and submit your E-Mail to be noticed. Walk & Ride will be mutlilingual, of course.
BTW, Appsfire: next time you set a deadline to a weekend - think first before you extend it to Monday.
