The 2010 Shanghai World Expo visitors will not have to worry about getting lost next year. Visitors will be able to use their mobile phones to download global positioning system software for free, said an official of AutoNavi, a Beijing-based digital map and location-based service provider.
Visitors will need to have a Smartphone that can download the software. Visitors will get a digital map of the site on their handsets and be told what areas are crowded. Visitors can download the software via both the General Packet Radio Service network, or GPRS, and new networks for 3G mobile phones. Most Chinese mobile phones can access GPRS while licenses for 3G mobile phones are being issued. Buses inside the Expo site and those running near the site will facilitate GPS devices.
