What is Wisepilot?
Its a mobile search and mapping plus navigaation application. Its made for local community content and it has now been integrated into T-Mobile’s back end and billing systems. There is a one click download for web ‘n’ walk and t-zones.

The only thing is that this local search solution is not advertising based its subscription based which might hinder uptake.
