Seoul, Korea, April 22, 2013—SK Planet today announced the launch of 'T Map Bike', a biking app developed based on 
its extensive knowhow in location-based services accumulated over the past decade.  
 
Over 700,000 Koreans who take an interest in bike riding are expected to get out on their bikes more often with the arrival
of spring and warm weather.
 
T Map Bike offers diverse services customized to the needs of bike riders. It not only offers basic maps but also records and
shows user's track/path on the map, offering accurate values for current speed, total distance, trip distance and burned
calories. It also allows users to take photos or video safely by tapping the camera button on the T Map Bike screen after
mounting the smartphones to their bikes.
 
Moreover, the app provides an online community service to enable bike-lovers to share their track data (e.g. trips and records)
with others to gain useful information. Bike-riding becomes more interesting as it offers real-time rankings of the app users
based on their cumulative total distance, trip time and maximum speed.
 
"SK Planet launched T Map Bike to help customers better enjoy the warm weather and beautiful landscapes in spring,
the best season for biking." said Kim Jang-uk, Senior Vice President and Head of LBS Business Division of SK Planet.
"We will continue to make efforts to shape T Map Bike into a more advanced biking app that encompasses route search,
turn-by-turn navigation, SNS feature, health management and safety biking guide."
 
T Map Bike is offered free of charge to all SK Telecom subscribers and all paid users of T Map (KT and LG U+ subscribers).
At present, the app can be used on main mobile device models, including Samsung's Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2, and 
LG's Optimus G and Optimus LTE. SK Planet plans to increase the number of devices that can support T Map Bike through
the process of optimizing the app's performance on each device. The Android version of T Map Bike can be downloaded at
T Store, while the iOS version is offered at Apple's App Store.
 
Meanwhile, SK Planet will hold T Map Bike launch event called 'Spring Social Picnic' under three fun themes until May 19, 2013
and will offer many giveaways, such as Samsung ATIV Smart PC, iPad Mini and round trip plane ticket to Jeju Island.
