Ramat-Gan, Israel – AtlasCT is announcing the release of version 3.2, the newest version of AtlasMobile™ API, an advanced package for location-based mobile applications development.

The AtlasMobile API is designed for fast development of location-based applications in Java™ ME. The new version of AtlasMobile API is the most advanced in the market and most unique by its small footprint, high performance and low memory usage.

o Interactive map allowing zooming, panning and dragging
o Search addresses, points-of-Interest (POIs) and driving directions
o Custom layers and dynamic content display
o Keypad and touch screen support

AtlasMobile API is compatible with Java™ ME (J2ME) mobile phones and smartphones on 2G-3.5G and has a long track record of success running on Nokia, Samsung, Sony-Ericsson, Motorola, LG and more devices.
The most outstanding fact is that 100% of companies who chose AtlasMobile API for their maps and location-based platform became semifinalists in NAVTEQ LBS Challenge for over 2 years in all regions.

Dannie Francis, Chief Executive Officer at CellCity said: “Working with the AtlasCT team has been a pleasure. Their professional support and advanced technology has enabled us to deliver our interactive map solution for DC2Go® (available from www.dc2go.mobi, www.dc2go.net) in record time allowing for short time-to-market, We were able to add several layers of information to the interactive maps (including restaurants and retail outlets), enable personal navigation, routing to and from, complete with addresses and click to call.
