LBS Apps Flood CTIA

A flood of LBS-related press releases hit us yesterday from CTIA. You can see all of them at LBS360.NET. A few notable highlights:

Check out a few of the YouTube vodcasts from Networks in Motion on the Atlas Book Navigator; and AAA Mobile on their nav device that can send your location directly for roadside assistance.

Getting real-time traffic information seems to be the hot topic with press announcements from TraffiCast’s real-time road speed, TrafficGauge’s traffic escape service on Blackberry’s, Traffic2Go.com from Traffic.com for Java phones, and TrafficLand that aggregates live traffic video from a network of traffic cameras.

Garmin is touting how your cell phone can look like its nuvi PND and has completed alliances with MapQuest and Google allow a user who is sitting at their PC to send navigation information from Google or MapQuest to a Garmin PND with its "Send to GPS" function.
