Proudly supporting the Heart Foundation's Great Ride
In February 2010 a group of New Zealand's cardiologists and health professionals will trade in their white coats for bike pants and begin an epic cycle ride that will cover the length of New Zealand.
Their aim is to boost awareness of heart disease prevention and raise $1 million for the
Heart Foundation's $5 million Cardiovascular Research Fund.
Knowhere has donated its time and services to provide real-time tracking of the cyclists as they travel around the country.
Meego - Powered by Meego
New Zealand's exciting new tourist service, Meego, has decided to use Knowhere
to power its location-based services.
Meego delivers real-time messages to tourists as they travel around the country, as well as on-demand information about local sites and attractions. We
are very excited to be working with them.
Some Location Trackers are best left in the Rubbish Bin
At Knowhere, we’ve always said that location tracking technology can be applied to a wide range of situations to improve our lives.
However, some people seem to think that the best place for location trackers is in your rubbish bin...read more...

Well, we could have...
Real-time Delivery Tracking
Knowhere's new Public Broadcasting system has been put to use on our Real-time Tracking example site, noodles2you.
Using our system, noodles2you customers can see exactly where their delivery is (or isn't), as well as get real-time emails sent to them when their
delivery person arrives in their area. Pretty cool eh?
New Logo
Well, it took a while but the rebranding is finally finished. We chose a pin for our logo because of the obvious mapping
connotations and also its design versatility & creativity.
Where's Wally?
Ben and James readily agreed to have their real-time location broadcast on our site 24-7 to help publicise our
new public broadcasting system - see what they're up to now...
Real-time Alerts Released
Our developers are proud to announce that the Knowhere Engine has been updated with real-time alerts, allowing
users to be notified when certain units/people leave or enter key areas.
As well as throwing open the gates to a huge new range of markets for Knowhere, this upgrade has powerful
ramifications for our existing customers in terms of safety and real-time tracking.
The first application to deploy real-time alerts is MeConn, a NZ-based
social networking site.
Windows Mobile 6
Knowhere's client software has gone into private beta on Windows Mobile 6 devices.
Competition Finalist
Knowhere's location-based marketing system was a finalist in the 2008 Cable Car Challenge.
Directors Ben Liebert and James Chang represented the company before some of New Zealand's leading business and IT entrepreneurs
including Rod Drury (of Xero fame), Dion Mortenson (Movac) and Sam Morgan (Trade Me).
Knowhere has become self-aware
In early January, Knowhere sent an email to one of our directors asking "what is love?" Two weeks later,
following a system-wide upgrade to one of our learning algorithms, Knowhere became self-aware and began operating
of its own accord. Thankfully, it's doing a better job without us - so we're not worried yet.
