MapsWithMe Hits 1 Million Downloads

MapsWithMe, the provider of fast offline map of the world for mobile devices, announces that the first million download milestone has just been successfully passed.

2013-01-29

ZURICH, SWITZERLAND, January 29, 2013 (Press-News.org) MapsWithMe, debuted in 2011 with the Lite version for iOS, experienced the hockey stick in 2012 by gradually increasing the features set and ultimately releasing the Android version. This year the user base has grown 10 times hitting the 7-digit milestone.

MapsWithMe is a mapping tool designed to make their users' travel experience smoother and safer. The maps themselves along with search, bookmarks and other features operate completely offline and do not require Internet connection. Including the maps of all the countries and cities in the world in one compact app has clearly put MapsWithMe into the driving seat in the market of offline mapping tools.

The app's know-how is the special map data compression technique which shrinks the map data impressively while maintaining the highest level of detail possible. To throw in the numbers, the map of Switzerland in full detail is only 69MB, while the whole Brazil fits into 74MB. As a result, the map download process is remarkably fast, zooming is smooth, search is just instant and the bookmarks are always available. Last but not least, a phone would not end up being filled up by a bunch of maps, leaving space for music, videos and photos the user might want to take while traveling.

Today MapsWithMe proudly features itself in most app stores (App Store, Google Play, Amazon Appstore, etc.) and continues to grow the user base consistently.

Possible consequences between CaMV 35S promoter regions and viral gene VI in transgenic plants

2013-01-28

The paper "Possible consequences of the overlap between the CaMV 35S promoter regions in plant transformation vectors used and the viral gene VI in transgenic plants" by Nancy Podevin and Patrick du Jardin—published in GM Crops & Food, 3(4), 296-300 (October/November/December 2012)—has this last week become the basis for a public controversy about certain aspects of the safety of foods containing or derived from GM ingredients. It has been pointed out that wider discussion of the issue might be hampered by the fee hitherto levied for downloading this paper. In order to ...

Altering eye cells may 1 day restore vision

2013-01-28

Doctors may one day treat some forms of blindness by altering the genetic program of the light-sensing cells of the eye, according to scientists at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. Working in mice with retinitis pigmentosa, a disease that causes gradual blindness, the researchers reprogrammed the cells in the eye that enable night vision. The change made the cells more similar to other cells that provide sight during daylight hours and prevented degeneration of the retina, the light-sensing structure in the back of the eye. The scientists now are ...

CSHL neuroscientists pinpoint location of fear memory in amygdala

2013-01-28

Cold Spring Harbor, N.Y. – A rustle of undergrowth in the outback: it's a sound that might make an animal or person stop sharply and be still, in the anticipation of a predator. That "freezing" is part of the fear response, a reaction to a stimulus in the environment and part of the brain's determination of whether to be afraid of it. A neuroscience group at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) led by Assistant Professor Bo Li Ph.D., together with collaborator Professor Z. Josh Huang Ph.D., today release the results of a new study that examines the how fear responses ...

ASU scientists unravel the mysteries of spider silk

2013-01-28

Scientists at Arizona State University are celebrating their recent success on the path to understanding what makes the fiber that spiders spin – weight for weight - at least five times as strong as piano wire. They have found a way to obtain a wide variety of elastic properties of the silk of several intact spiders' webs using a sophisticated but non–invasive laser light scattering technique. "Spider silk has a unique combination of mechanical strength and elasticity that make it one of the toughest materials we know," said Professor Jeffery Yarger of ASU's Department ...

**Singapore scientists led by A*STAR's GIS identify 4 mechanisms that contribute to gastric cancers**

2013-01-28

Scientists at A*STAR's Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS) headed a study that discovered four processes by which gastric cancer is formed. This is extremely important since gastric cancer is the second most common cause of cancer deaths worldwide, claiming almost 750,000 lives annually, 60% of which are Asians. Using what is known as next-generation sequencing technologies, GIS scientists were able to provide a comprehensive view of the gastric cancer genome, characterizing micro- and macro-scale mutations. This led to the identification of four distinct processes that ...

Dual-hormone artificial pancreas is a step closer for patients with Type 1 diabetes

2013-01-28

For patients with type 1 diabetes, a dual-hormone artificial pancreas system (also known as a closed-loop delivery system) improved the control of glucose levels and reduced the risk of hypoglycemia compared with conventional pump treatment in a trial published in CMAJ (Canadian Medical Association Journal). It is challenging for patients with type 1 diabetes to control their glucose levels because tight glucose control increases the incidence of hypoglycemia (dangerously low glucose levels). Insulin pump treatment, which provides a continuous predetermined subcutaneous ...
