Nokia's map data reveals flow of highway life

"Nokia's HERE business is casting bright light on Nokia as a company making use of technologies capable of what it calls "mapping for life," enabling better safety for drivers and better use of information for highway planners. Mapping that is most useful for urban planning takes more than capturing an index of streets and buildings."

"We [Nokia] process billions of GPS probe points per month for our traffic services."

Nokia points out that the data is collected anonymously, using the wisdom of the crowd for enabling real-time updates.
