Earthcomber Map

Earthcomber adds more features with its latest release.  Travelers with smartphones and PDAs can now wirelessly retrieve free maps and data over-the-air, giving them a convenient way to explore their surroundings for places that would make their trips complete. From a latte to a museum, a movie to the best Chinese restaurant in town, Earthcomber users can always find their favorite places.

Earthcomber is a free, location-based service. It employs patented search technology to match the user’s interests with nearby locations and alert the user when one of their needs or desires is nearby. Unlike web-style mobile searches, there’s no need to stop and enter search terms, one by one. Instead, Earthcomber scans the area for the user’s entire list of favorites, interests and needs. 

Over 2.5 million locations around the USA are available on Earthcomber.  Users can find nearby ATMs, WiFi hotspots, hotels, coffee shops, restaurants, fast food, museums, historical sites, attractions, parks, lakes and trails, gas stations and more. 

In addition, Earthcomber provides the latest movie listings for 5,400 theaters and 30,000 screens. Users can search in their proximity for a specific movie title, or simply look for the closest theatre and then display prices and show times.

Other enhancements in the latest release of Earthcomber allow users to pack even more maps and content onto their devices or removable storage cards. The Earthcomber application’s performance has been improved significantly – it can now spot hundreds of nearby locations in just a few seconds.

The over-the-air software is available now for Palm-powered and Windows Mobile smart phones and PDAs.
