While Yapp Mobile is new player in the mobile mapping, navigation, and content market, we are proud to boast several global partners.
Vodafone Group was established in the UK in 1983, and has equity interests in 26 countries and partner networks in a further 13 countries - leaving an unmatched network footprint that has access to a total customer base of almost 155 million proportionate customers. Vodafone Group Plc has played a significant role in Vodafone Australia's business since its inception as well as in the management and development of Vodafone New Zealand and Vodafone Fiji.
Vodafone Australia operates a GSM digital mobile network that covers 93 per cent of the Australian population. More than 3 million customers are connected to Vodafone, which is almost a 17 per cent share of the Australian mobile market.
Yapp Mobile and Vodafone Australia collaborate to bring GPS-enabled navigation on mobile handsets to Vodafone customers in Australia.
The mobile telecommunications industry in New Zealand is vibrant, dynamic and fast-paced. More than 3.8 million New Zealanders– or about 92% of the population - are now estimated to have a mobile connection!

PMP Software is a highly respected software development services company, based in Sydney, Australia. The company is Australian owned but staffed by talented executives from around the globe.
Established more than 20 years ago, PMP produces customised solutions and builds IT-based products for a group of happy blue-chip clients. More recently, PMP has begun to build our own IT-based products. The first of these products is YappNav, which has recently been adopted by Vodafone Australia as their mobile mapping application of choice for their business customers.
PMP works with clients using a variety of business models to suit the situation and the client.
While an audit of projects completed over the past two decades would suggest PMP can turn its many hands to any IT project, the company has developed four key technology solution areas: Mapping and GIS Solutions, Device and Embedded Control Systems, Media Streaming (Voice and Video over IP), and Web-based Applications.
