Our focus is on Location Based Services ( LBS ) which answer "Where am I? Where is it? How do I get there?" ... & Location Aware Devices (LADs) such as 3G smartphones, mobiles, cellfones, PDAs and personal wireless platforms. LADs will soon be everywhere [i.e. ubiquitous = DoCoMo]. This blog will stay on top of all things that will help us .... keep on track ... and show us where it's at

Sweden - How to use Google Maps as a Tourist Agency
location based services
(post by Robert de Heer)VisitSweden.com - Thinking of visiting Sweden this summer? The most easy way to find more info on this country, is using the country-website VisitSweden.com. Like many other country-websites, also this one has had a map-application online. Recently, Margareta Björnberg and Tommy Sollén of VisitSweden.com decided to change their current paid-for map-provider for the free Google Maps-solution. Not just because of pricing, but also because of what you all can do with Google Maps, and not with other providers. They have now implemented many points-of-interest, in an easy clickable way to use. This is how all Tourist Agencies should use their website to allow visitors to quickly see, what all can be done in a country.
