Spying an opportunity, Apple, Google and Nokia are priming sophisticated location-based services for launch. [...] The winner"s circle shows just how serious Google is about mapping.

At least two finalists also make use of Android"s compass sensor, which adjusts the phone"s screen to reflect the direction the user is facing." See also related stories below.
