Nokia Launches New GPS Navigation System
February 8th, 2006
Nokia has today announced the launch
of Nokia GPS Module LD-3W that will make available all
location based services to a variety of Bluetooth enabled
Nokia cell phones. By collaborating with various companies,
Nokia is working hard to provide these navigation and
location based services at an affordable price for all
consumers.
Aage Snorgaard, Senior Vice President
of Nokia (Mobile Phones Division) quotes, "Location
based services, such as navigation and point-of-interest
search for hotels and restaurants are becoming increasingly
popular with consumers."
He adds, "With the introduction
of the Nokia GPS Module LD-3W and through our collaborations
with navigation industry players such as Wayfinder and
Telmap, we offer a compelling range of location based
services to the tens of millions of consumers who have
one of our highly popular mid-range models, such as the
Nokia 6230i or the Nokia 6280."
This new service is expected to be available
in the 1st quarter of 2006 and retail at about $130.
What are some of the things that the
GPS Module LD-3W can do? Here are some:
- Users can determine where they are
(in the US) from upto 5 metres (100% accuracy). From this
spot, they can determine by way of Wayfinder or Telmap's
digital maps, the best route to their destination (much
like Mapquest).
- Tons of digital maps will be available
in the database of GPS Module LD-3W.
