Nokia is planning opening up Nokia Maps for the Desktop and synchronizing information between desktop and mobile phone. Therefore they are working on a browser frontend for their maps and navigation service Nokia Maps, which is optimized for the PC. The user should be able to plan a route on the PC and is shown the information on the mobile after synchronizing. I can be assumed that Nokia Maps will be embedded into the Ovi-platform. Currently the product is under development and will not be available before fall 2008.

In general it can be said that Nokia make a lot of effort providing geospatial solution for the mobile world. Nokia has announced to deliver 35 to 40 million mobiles, which have built-in GPS chips.

Maybe there are some more criteria to rate phones for their LBS suitability.

I know this is a very limited evaluation. But for this four phones my winner is the iPhone 3G because of the great suitability and the mobile MacOS X SDK.

The goal of this project is to investigate and show how geobrowsers can be used for thematic mapping. It is initialised by a master’s thesis in Geographical Information Science at University of Edinburgh.

It is really a helpul tool to ceate a impressive thematic map very fast. The only problem until now is that you have no possibility to use your own statistical data.
