Hello there
This year at State of the Map we are doing a special "OpenStreetMap
Application Challenge".  If you are a start-up or small business that is
building applications or services on top of OpenStreetMap, the #GeoMob
OpenStreetMap Application Challenge is the competition for you.

On Friday 10th July at the State of the Map, some of the hottest location
based start-ups will be competing in a rapid-fire pitch-off that’s sure to
stun and amaze the crowd. Here’s the lowdown on two of the entrants:


mapme.at lets you save and display you share places you visited on holiday,
the path you ran in a marathon or any of geo information with your friends.
The app gives users a large number of ways to update their location,
including iPhone apps and email. mapme.at also provides an API that lets
developer build applications that make use of mapme.at’s unique geo-tracking
capabilities.


OffMaps <http://www.offmaps.com/> let’s you take your maps offline. It is
the ideal companion for any iPhone and iPod Touch user, who wants to access
maps when travelling abroad (and avoid data roaming charges) and who wants
to have fast access to maps at all times. This app (and the icon) just has
to be on the right hand side of Apple’s built-in maps app.


To enter your start-up, project or small business into the challenge and win
the respect of the OpenStreetMap community, fill out this
form<http://spreadsheets.google.com/a/stateofthemap.org/viewform?hl=en&formkey=ck5PTHFPWDI0Sm5SQjg5SklHYUhlM3c6MA..>
.


See you at SOTM!
