The mobile smartphone platform gets a mapmaking boost this week with new offerings from both Ericsson Labs and Nokia Beta Labs. Both focus on the mobile users’ interest in collecting data about their surroundings.
Ericsson’s Map Studio offers tools to create indoor maps (Map Studio), use the maps in Android Applications (Android Map API), and provide indoor locations via Wi-Fi positioning (Indoor Positioning API). The developer-focused API approach opens up whole new possibilities for capturing and sharing indoor locations, such as
navigation applications for complicated building complexes and the ability to locate people and objects indoors.
Nokia offers up a new Nokia Maps Suite for Symbian this week at Nokia World in London. The bundled offering includes Places to find where you are and what surrounds you, Live View for an augmented reality view with reviews on local businesses, Pulse to see if friends are nearby, and Public Transport to determine the quickest way to get where you want to be.
