SBOING.net Information

SBOING.NET ("navigation beyond") (www.sboing.net) is an SME that implements innovative technologies and related systems for the collection, processing and exploitation of location and mobility based data. In particular, it implements an internationally patented, collaborative, crowdsourcing technology for the collection, processing and distribution of traffic, road and sensory data in order to provide improved routing capabilities for GPS navigation, globally. Users record their routes and exchange them with free navigation software and world maps, utilizing a credit-based system (digital virtual currency). By sophisticated processing of the user traces and other contributions, SBOING maintains an active database of traffic and location-based data for the entire planet and uses it to perform more accurate, multi-parametric routing with time-of-day granularity, as well as to offer faster map updates for its users and for other GPS-navigation applications; a unique approach world-wide. SBOING develops embedded GPS software and systems that support the SBOING technology and its applications.
