Early this month I noted that Telus had launched Kid Finder and Mobile Naviagtaiton applications. It appears that Telus is running these services on Openwave's Location Manager platform. The companies announced the partnership last week. Telus is using the Openwave Location Manager to power their LBS serices.
From the press release:
"Openwave Location Manager gathers a subscriber's location from multiple available sources and delivers encrypted data to the Kid Find service, allowing parents to locate their children in real-time from both the web and their TELUS mobile phone. Similarly, the TELUS Navigator service leverages location information to allow subscribers to use their handset to plan their route ahead, search for destinations from over 1.5 million points of interest and get results according to their preferred mode of travel.
