Nokia-owned navigation company Navteq is actively developing what could become the future of mapping, and presented several of its innovations, including indoor positioning, on a hacked Nokia N8.
Google changed the course of mapping when it simply - or rather not that simply - dumped pictures of entire countries on the web. We know this system as Street View, and for those who utilise it frequently, it is quite useful as the destination and paths that lead to it can be viewed in advance. Navteq will follow a similar route with Natural Guidance. Carrying pictures of entire cities can weigh several terabytes, space that mobile phones don't offer, therefore it is far easier to simply incorporate 3D renderings of buildings. The mapping company has camera-equipped cars travelling throughout several countries - including South Africa - capturing data which in future can become crucial for motorists or pedestrians when taking a turn and the street name is not visible. The 3D renderings will not be exact, but the existing detailed 3D landmarks will be ported to the newer version in order to complete the visual maps.
