Real-time satellite navigation uses GPS on a SIM card

Mobile location company Telmap has announced a partnership with BlueSky Positioning to put real-time search, mapping and navigation on mobile phones that don't have built-in GPS. Instead, it's using BlueSky Positioning’s A-GPS technology, which is embedded into a phone’s SIM card.

The result is a mapping and navigation solution for mid-range handsets that includes in-car navigation with 3D moving maps, multi-lingual turn-by-turn directions with street names and even traffic and speed camera information in some areas. Telmap’s solution also includes pedestrian navigation.
