Location-based Services

Location Based Services are often equated with the phrase 'the new camera' referring to the fact that, in the same way most mobile phones now feature cameras, most mobile phones will soon support GPS. This will allow the user to take advantage of a number of different location based positioning services.

In anticipation of the ubiquity of location based services Symbian has invested a considerable amount of development spend in ensuring we offer our licensees a market leading LBS implementation. Devices featuring Symbian's LBS solution are already shipping from NTT DoCoMo in Japan

The LBS video below shows some of the typical LBS services made possible by Symbian's LBS solution, running in real devices.
