Methods, apparatus and computer program product providing enhanced location-based services for mobile users

摘要

A mobile terminal ( 10 ) includes a transceiver ( 11 ); a user interface ( 10 D) and a location module ( 10 B) coupled to the transceiver and responsive to a trigger to request that a map be downloaded to the mobile terminal for storage in a memory ( 10 C). The location module is further coupled to the user interface for displaying at least a portion of a downloaded map to a user and for prompting the user to indicate the user's location on the map. The location module is responsive to the user indicating the user's location for supplying enhanced mobile terminal location information to an application ( 10 A) that requests mobile terminal location information.
