Maps app heads for iPhone, iPod touch

January 16th, 2008 | Category: WiFi, Cellphones

Looks like the iPhone and iPod touch will benefit from Skyhook Wireless‘ WiFi Positioning System (WPS) thanks to the Maps application that will be made available to both devices. WPS maps known WiFi signals through entire metropolitan areas in order to come up with a reading on precisely where the user is at that point

in day. I don’t think it will be as accurate as a real GPS device, but it certain beats scratching your head, wondering just where you are at that point in duration in an unfamiliar place.
