Sanoodi

Sanoodi is a company based in Bangor, Gwynedd in Wales. In 2007 it developed and launched a Google Maps Mashup site with the goal of creating an innovative social platform and integrated cellphone based GPS recording and tracking application catering specifically for A to B activities such as walking, running, cycling, mountain biking, sailing, kayaking and skiing. The range of integrated mobile applications for Windows Mobile, Nokia and Research In Motion devices allows users to record routes and add geotagged media and interact with other users whilst out and about.

The company was founded by Rhys Jones & Dyfan Williams. Jones who graduated in computer sciences at Manchester University and who wrote the original software has founded a number of successful internet based businesses including Accountis and Securetrading. Sanoodi closed an initial seed funding round of $700,000 (£350,000) from a number of private investors in the UK, the US and Switzerland in mid 2007.
