Aa a signature event, the Light of Internet Expo selects flagship products across sectors after multiple rounds of expert review.

Through standardized APIs, large models and industry agents can directly access global location services, translating natural-language requests into map-based tasks, thus extending AI’s ability to interpret and act on the physical world.
Ivan Zhang, CEO of MAPTEC, presented the platform at the expo’s flagship debut event on opening day, outlining its technical approach, core capabilities and applications.
The company says it will continue working on spatial reasoning models, global map data foundation and LBS services, while pursuing technology partnerships and joint standards development across industries.
