Where 2.0: Merging Roadways: PC and Mobile Maps Coming Together
Posted by john under Events , Geo StuffNo Comments
Michael Howard – Nokia
Nokia maps 2.0, mapping and routing in > 170 countries. “To be installed on 40 to 60 million gps handsets and close to 100 million location-aware devices.”
Commercial transactions in >100 countries per day.
Walking, pedestrian routing. Some phones have compass built in to tell which way you’re looking.
What’s next?
Innovation on “Drive, move, discover, create&collect, share, meet”
Mobile, guidance centric. People get wherever they want to go regardless of transportation mode.
How they can do this by combining service across the web and mobile..
*Video, music, woo!*
Get rid of the idea of “mobile internet” and “internet”. There is one internet. This is a service that is complementing the mobile experience, not replicating it. On the phone, collect cool POIs, go back to the web and [upload?] them.
