Ana Belen Ramon, better known as Missha in the world of web design has informed me about the launch (in the “preview release” phase) of Wolpy, a social network for travellers to share their travel experiencies.
Missha is responsible for the design of Wolpy (I love the design, congratulations Missha) and the programming has been done by Miguel Abad.
Having launched in “preview release” for now, Wolpy only allows you to create a map of the places you have visited in your trips and to carry out reviews of the places mentioned. As in all social networks that take pride in themselves, you can share these places with your friends and get to know the places that they have visited.
Once the launch phase is over, the next step would be to allow users to upload photos and videos of their trips besides being able to recommend other users on the places to visit.
The ultimate goal of Wolpy is to become a collaborative travel guide on a global scale.
The GPS devices shop ActivaGPS has just started a service called Nav2us that allows users to share geolocalized places and multimedia content through their GPS device.
Nav2us utilizes the API’s of various map services and of some mashups to offer the user a series of options that improve the experience of using a GPS navigator.
The principal functionality of Nav2us is to offer the members of the community a place to share the location of their places, something that sites like Tagzania or Wikiloc already do. And the main utility that I see is that one can download content directly from the website to a GPS connected to the computer.
Nav2us has versions in Spanish, English and French. It’s a good strategy to come out in various languages and promote the use of the site on an international level.
