10th Febuary 2006 - Nokia today underlined its effort in
making location based services available to a broad consumer
base with the announcement of the Nokia GPS Module LD-3W, which
is compatible with a wide selection of Nokia's Bluetooth enabled
handsets. By cooperating with several partners, Nokia provides
comfortable and affordable navigation solutions that are now
available for many of Nokia's mid-range handsets.
"Location based services, such as navigation and point-of-interest
search for hotels and restaurants are becoming increasingly
popular with consumers," says Aage Snorgaard, Senior Vice
President, Mobile Phones, Nokia. "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."
The most popular location based services for consumers have
been integrated car solutions. Earlier, Nokia introduced navigation
to its S60 devices. Now Nokia makes location based services
accessible at a lower price point.
With a handset connected to the Nokia Wireless GPS Module LD-3W,
consumers see their position with up to five meters accuracy,
and the easiest route to their destination on a digital map
provided by Wayfinder or Telmap. Once installed with the automatic
settings configuration tool, users hold an extensive selection
of digital maps right in their hand. The Nokia GPS module is
expected to start shipping in the 1st quarter of 2006 and retail
for approximately 110 EUR excluding taxes and subsidies.
Both the Nokia GPS Module LD-3W module and suite of navigation
services will be demonstrated at the partner stands of Wayfinder
and Telmap at the 3GSM 2006 Congress taking place in Barcelona
from February 13-16.
