Blog - SpotJots from ten23 takes 1st place in 2008 Navteq LBS Challenge with SpotJots PDF Print E-mail

We managed to catch the award ceremony for the 2008 Navteq LBS Challenge from Vegas... some very interesting apps from some new names.

 And the winner is... from ten23 SpotJots (See http://www.ten23software.com) - about the app:
SpotJots enables users to upload their stories, reviews, pictures, video, audio and documents to their personal SpotJots blog, where the content can be associated with relevant location information and shared with the entire community, just friends or kept private for personal viewing only. Users can discover content and people through various site tools, including keyword searches, a public timeline, city exploration guides, references, a featured user list and maps which promotes spatial discovery of content.

Congrats to all the winners!

Spotjots from ten23 software - powered by deCarta


1st Runner up - WildLab, powered by WHERE


2nd runner up (and the coolest name!) HeyWhatsThat - powered by WHERE

3rd Runner up AEN Mobile – Americas Emergency Network - powered by WHERE

Interesting to note about this years contest, over half of entries had some form of user-generated content in their apps!

One couldn't help noticing a few trends in this year's Navteq LBS Challenge - perhaps you watched the award ceremony via live webcast? Some of the obvious trends that I noticed while getting the skinny on the finalists:
- the uLocate WHERE developer platform is the developer tool of choice this year for LBS apps - 10 of the top 15 apps used WHERE!
- The Nokia N95 seemed to be the device of choice for demos - most of the demos I saw were running on the N95, although not the N95 8GB... odd!
- According to Navteq, more than half of this years' apps incorporated some form of user-gerated content - of note, last year the hot trend was social networking apps.
