It is very popular to organize developer's challenge with huge prize money. So we cannot stay aside and here it is! Best Locified. And because we believe that money is not the most important (and we have some other minor reasons), we offer as a grand prize our unique sweathershirt! Why unique? Because now only 3 pieces exist!

We helped to organize geocaching like game at the Invex/Digitex - the international fair of ICT in Brno, Czech Republic. We have prepared a custom Locify version for this occasion - so users with Locify mobile client gained a lot of advantages - easy navigation, online results posting and detailed map of the fair. This proves that Locify can be used for creating wonderful real-time GPS games. Read more about the game here (in Czech language).

This week we have moved all our infrastructure to Amazon Web Services. Why? Better reliability and scaling. Amazon is pushing hard, adding a lot of interesting features. In fact I will hardly find any argument why not to use AWS and use own hardware (for company like Locify).

Today we released a new version of Locify. It's a major release we have been looking forward to. Brand new version brings enhancements to current client and adds great new features. Here are the most notable or them:

Maps support

Almost everyone who tried previous versions of Locify tried our "Show my location" service, which allows you to display a map at selected coordinates. Now we bring you full-feature maps with zoom, sliding and even tracking your position. Locify supports Google maps, Yahoo maps (both road and satellite), Open Street Map and Microsoft Live Maps Road, Aerial and Hybrid.

New ways of setting your location

GPS still remains a great way to get your location, however not everyone has a GPS unit. For these users we changed the way to set your location: You can still use GPS, but you can also use a saved point, enter coordinates manually and use geocoding to get your location.

This means that you can enter your current address (eg. Trafalgar Square, London) and your coordinates will be accordingly set.

Nokia Landmarks

Nokia users can now send points saved in Locify to Nokia Landmarks. Afterwards it is possible to view these points in Nokia Maps and navigate to them.

Download Locify and see the changelog.
