Zusammenfassung:Almost 2 million Japanese citizens use Navitime, a mobile phone-based navigation service that incorporates various modes of transportation. User experiences reveal implications for designing urban-computing services. Location-based services are a key pervasive computing application that could deeply influence urban spaces and their inhabitants. Recent advances in mobile phones, GPS, and wireless networking infrastructures are making it possible to implement and operate large-scale location- based services in the real world.
