ZOS Communications created zhiing, location-based messaging application that allows users to provide quick directions to anyone, anytime, over any network easily. zhiing connects people to people, people to places and people to service with dynamic maps and turn-by-turn driving directions. Zhiign combines a social networking element to GPS mapping technology, creating a practical solution that connects people to each other and/or locations.
As a real estate professional if you agree to meet a client for a showing or a meeting and you arrive first to the destination, you can zhiing your client from your mobile device. When you do this, your client’s phone receives turn-by-turn directions to your location along with a message from you saying you’re already there. This ensures your client will not get lost, keeping your meeting on time. It also allows your client to see how far away they are from the meeting location, and they can then inform you about how far away they are. You can use also zhiing to connect someone to a place they’re looking for, but are lost.
All of this can be done mobile-to-mobile, or computer-to-mobile. If you would like to zhiing someone from your computer, simply download zhiign’s browser add-on. Once installed in a supported browser, zhiing recognizes addresses and lets you send that address to any mobile number by clicking on the zhiing icon.
zhiing allows the busy professional to even zhiing themselves before they rush out the door. Send yourself zhiings for all the places you need to go and retrieve the zhiing with directions detailing where you need to go next.
If you find yourself lost, or stranded, you can zhiing from your mobile device and contact someone asking for a ride to your specific location.
The zhiing application and services are free with standard data and messaging plans from your cell phone provider. zhiing currently supports the whole United States and Canada, and are working to expand their service to the rest of the world.
Currently, iPhones, BlackBerry, Android and Dash Express are compatible with the zhiing mobile application.
