Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0049530A1] The invention describes a mobile information service that gives a user access to tailored and position adapted information. The information is adapted both to the user's position and according to special wishes regarding content of information. This is achieved by means of a www-technology, especially developed software for service logic, and software to distribute position information over Internet. The information is shown on one into two parts divided window on an ordinary portable computer, which is equipped with a GPS-receiver. The accuracy of the position information is improved by means of differential GPS, DGPS. One of the windows shows a map over the area where the user is. On the map are shown icons that indicate places of interest, cash dispensers, restaurants and traffic interchanges etc. If one clicks on one icon, there is in the other window shown information about the place, for instance menu for a near located restaurant. There also is possible to make personal adaptations, so that information is shown automatically when one is approaching a certain point. Warning information, such as traffic warnings, can automatically be shown when one is approaching an area.
