My phone comes with a GPS system but what I find slightly irritating is it is like most systems geared towards drivers. I have used it on several occasions to try and find my way when I have been walking somewhere and although it does usually get me there it doesn’t always chose the best route when you are on foot. I read with interest this article that Nokia are introducing a digital map system for its phones that gives real time walking directions. The system will be available on its Series 60 and Series 40 phones and according to Nokia is the first pedestrian navigation system on a mobile phone. It will be interesting to see how popular it proves to be and whether other companies will start providing a similar service.
