Save money on producing Apps
A store locator for the Mobile Web can save time and money on the development of apps for multiple platforms.
The eHound Mobile Web Module has been designed to support location-based services across all mobile browsers, with navigation, content and functionality customised for specific handsets (eg iPhone), and categories of device (eg Webkit-enabled).
This Module offers a lower cost option when compared to the development of native application for multiple operating system platforms (iPhone, Android, Blackberry, etc).
Specific benefits include:
- Automatic access to GPS where available
- Resizing to portrait and landscape
- AJAX and static maps automatically mapped to the device’s capability
The following classification is used.

These browsers handle CSS and JavaScript very well, which means that most AJAX sites with native style components typically work great. Includes: iPhone and iPod Touch, Android, BlackBerry OS 6, Windows Phone, Palm WebOS.
