Wayfinder Goes Open Source

July 16th, 2010 by Arjan Olsder Posted in Analysis & Editorial | No Comments »

Developers who have always wanted to develop navigation apps will probably be happy to hear that Vodafone is will be giving away the sourcecode to the Wayfinder LBS service for free.

Vodafone bought Wayfinder two years ago for 230.000.000 SEK. Since most hardware vendors have decided to offer free step-by-step navigation on their devices, Vodafone had no reason to further invest in the venture.

As a result, both front-end and back-end code is being released under the BSD license. The code has already been uploaded to GitHub and Vodafone hopes the development community will use it for something usefull.
