Text and answer company 82ASK and Internet mapping provider Multimap today launch a service to deliver individually-tailored maps to people via their mobile phones, wherever they are in the UK. The service allows users to send a text to 82ASK (82275) requesting a location or landmark, and receive a link straight to their phone within minutes.
After requesting details for a particular location users are sent a text within 5 minutes with a link to a WAP page containing their map, providing a direct and easy way of accessing exactly the right map. Text directions can also be supplied along with the map.
