Facebook is trying to acquire the App Waze to compete with
google map application. Map application
is so useful in the mobile internet industry taking into account the nature of
tech savy consumer population of today.
Bloggers and other tech related jobs are requiring each person
representing the job to continuously connect with the internet to satisfy their
work assignment for the day. Take for
example if a sales representative will do his or her visiting hours checking
product stocks to some designated point
of sale locations, it is but easier for
the manager to control and monitor the movement not only to one sales
representative but to all the sales force of the marketing department.
Locating key points of a city like, finding
the food centers or shopping centers is an important aspect for any
tourist. That is why the GPS system is
so relevant not only to the tourism industry but also to the aspect of supply
chain in real business situations.
As to
the case of Facebook who is trying to purchase Waze that raised $30 million
dollars in 2011, Facebook Company saw the lucrative future of mobile mapping
application. But on the contrary, Google
is exploring not only city centers but moving their intelligence in mapping
towards the inner oceans and space.
Real
time mapping in the future is the aim for any social media company. More to that, real time mapping with 3D
animation would be an interesting technology to experience.
