TomTom's Local Search app with 10 Million Places Made Available to Android User
December 19, 2011 By: Janice PartykaTomTom has made its local search app TomTom Places available to Android smartphone users. Users can make easier and more specific searches for shops, hotels, restaurants or tourist attractions with detailed information allowing users to refine their results and choose precisely what they are looking for.
The local search is based on TomTom's enhanced point-of-interest (POI) database of 10 million places and provides directions to the destination taking into account the current traffic situation. The application does not provide turn-by-turn navigation functionality.
TomTom Places' Android app is available in Belgium, Denmark, Germany, Ireland, Norway, Portugal, Sweden and The Netherlands and is supported in the local languages. It will be made available in Spain in December.
TomTom has teamed up with the following business listing companies to create this detailed local search tool: Truvo, Gelbe Seiten, Gule sider, 1881.no, Paginas Amarelas, Lokaldelen, De Telefoongids & Gouden Gids and Paginas Amarillas.
The application can be downloaded free of charge.
