Overview

Zumi.pl, one of most popular portals in Poland, selected Polidea to develop an inovative application that will enable its users to take full advantage of its collection of maps, weather, and information.

Solution

The applications, commissioned by Zumi.pl, have been designed for Apple iOS and Android operating system, with special emphasis on usage on tablet devices such as Apple iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab.

The mobile version of Zumi.pl provides most of the functionality of its desktop counterpart such as quick display and caching of both street maps and satellite imagery, routing, weather information, identification of dangerous road spots (including live webcam feeds) and extensive searchable The POI database including hotels, ATMs, restaurants, tourist attractions and even businesses (via KRS lookup).

"Zumi.pl is one of our most important and certainly most technologically complex services so choosing a top tier partner for our mobile project was crucial. Fortunately the decision turned out to be not that difficult as Polidea had done outstanding job for us previously – and this time they did not disappoint. In fact they exceeded our expectations" remarked Tomasz Nowak, Executive Director at Zumi.

The application is available for most popular smartphones such as iPhone or Samsung Galaxy S but it is the tablet platform where it really shines. The user interface for iPad version has been designed entirely from scratch by Polidea UI team.

The Zumi.pl application is currently available for free from app stores of respective target platforms i.e. Android Market and Apple App Store.
