- 2. Growing Demand for Location Enabled Applications Consumers • 53% of consumers want phones with Navigation1 • Six out of the nine most wanted consumer applications (beyond voice) are location related 2 • "GPS" is now the third most popular search term on Handango.com despite the fact that the majority of existing GPS applications require an additional piece of hardware3 • Nokia estimates on selling 65 million GPS enabled phones in 2008. Developers • 73% of developers see immediate opportunities for commercialized applications • 58% plan to incorporate location information into their applications within the next twelve months 4 Operators • Wireless mobile operators are aggressively rolling out location-enabled services to meet consumer demand for: • Turn-by-Turn Navigation • Friend finder services • Realtime traffic Information • Location-enabled shopping / product finder applications Sources: 1 Instat Oct 2006; 2 CJ Driscoll, 2006; 3 S60 Summit, June 2007, Handango; 4 Forum Nokia / NAVTEQ joint survey 2007 2 © 2008 Nokia LBS / 2008-03-25 / JAL

- 4. Nokia Maps 2.0 • Nokia is building Nokia Maps as a navigation platform for mobile operating systems. • All Nokia N95 Customers have started Nokia Maps at least once • Supports both driving and Walking Earth Voice browsing guided navigation Search City guides 4 © 2008 Nokia LBS / 2008-03-25 / JAL
- 5. Traffic 2.0 • Congestion causes 4.2 billion hours of travel in USA alone. • An extra 2.9 billion gallons of fuel burned due to congestion. • 100 cars equipped with the Nokia 95 and driven by University of California students traveled a 10- mile highway stretch near San Fransisco to demonstrate how real-time traffic stats can be obtained using GPS-enabled cell phones. • All data sent was completely anonymous and encrypted, keeping privacy concerns at bay. • The special software on the N95s used during the test sent periodical speed and location readings based on the integrated GPS system. • Estimates are that only 5% of drivers needing to contribute for the system to work on any given highway. 5 © 2008 Nokia LBS / 2008-03-25 / JAL
