Waypoint 2013 Recap!

Waypoint 2013 has come and gone – and this year’s conference was full of intelligent and intriguing discussions about navigation technology. The annual conference was held in San Francisco, where Telenav hosted a group of influential tech journalists and analysts from across the country to talk about the future of mobile and in-car navigation.


In the above video, Waypoint 2013 attendees discuss their first impressions of the event and their views on the future of navigation.

Telenav made several announcements at Waypoint 2013, including map improvements such as new 3D buildings and crowd-sourced traffic data, as well as an update to it’s “Scout for Cars: Built In” product. The Scout Advertising team also shared the results of an in-depth study that details consumer driving behaviors.

A Closer Look at Scout.me: Find Tons of Things to Do Near You

Do you enjoy discovering things to do around your own town?  Or do you ever find yourself asking, “What should I do this weekend?” If that’s you, then Scout.me is a site you should probably check out.

Living in Seattle, I love exploring the city and finding new things to do – it seems like there’s always something to do, see, or even better, eat.  But if ever there were a downside to living in a region with 3.7 million other people, it’s this – sometimes it can be too big and finding all of the things happening at any given time can be impossible (and incredibly frustrating).

Another situation I sometimes find myself in (probably more often than I would like to admit) is being bored out of mind and in these moments asking myself, “What should I do now?”

As someone who enjoys getting out, trying new things, and generally doing my part to make life fun (and not be bored), I really dislike being in these situations.

Enter Scout.me.

If you enjoy “scouting” out your town like I do (that is to say, discovering new things and boldly, trying to find your next adventure), I’m really excited to tell you about Scout.me.

Simply put, Scout.me is an online companion to our Scout mobile app, which was designed to help you discover and explore your hometown, all in one place.

On Scout.me, you can find any number of events and things happening near you. On it, you can discover:

-          things to do with your family

-          explore art & cultural venues

-          adventures and extreme activities like skate parks, rafting, or pilot lessons

-          live music playing in your area

-          events like shows or sports

-          outdoor recreations like hikes or parks

-          new restaurants or places to stay near you

-          sightseeing tours and more

No matter what your interests or occasion, Scout.me can help you find out what’s going on in your area.

Also, if you have Scout for Phone or Car, you can log into Scout.me and save or organize any of your favorite places and events online. When you do this, they will all automatically update wherever you use Scout – on your phone, car, or web.
