logo_nokia.gifThis has got to be good. Nokia has announced the Nokia GPS Module LD-3W, a wireless GPS device which is compatible with a wide selection of Nokia's Bluetooth enabled handsets. This is Nokia's step forward in making location based services available to a broad consumer base - not just to the elite. The whole solution will be on display at the 3GSM World Congress.

Connect a handset to the Nokia Wireless GPS Module LD-3W and you can locate your position to an accuracy of 5 metres. Plus you can also see the easiest route to your destination on a digital map provided by Wayfinder or Telmap.

The module is expected to start shipping in the 1st quarter of 2006 and retail for approximately 110 Euros excluding taxes and subsidies. It should make its way into the United States soon after. No pictures are out yet. www.nokia.com

"Location based services, such as navigation and point-of-interest search for hotels and restaurants are becoming increasingly popular with consumers," said 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."
