I agree that in Asia location based services are still not mainstream. But the potential is there -- only if one could avoid the govt red tape and corruption!

Obviously Nokia realized the value of location-based information and made a move in the right direction acquiring Navteq. Closer to home, though, the industry has yet to realize the potential GIS stores for them. Other than the generic applications that the telecom, oil and gas industry has made use of, the public is still without an affordable GIS application that they can use. On top of that is the secretive safe-guarding of data in the hands of a couple of companies. With the exorbitant prices and stupid Survey of Pakistan policies, it will be several years before we can see that data being made use of by the average Pakistani tech enthusiast, unless, Google can do something about it.

In google maps case, there are already free apps out there www.mgmaps.com which get maps from Google primarily but also from Yahoo and Virtual earth. Surely these maps are much more updated and more appealing to people then going for a paid service. Above mentioned application also allows GPS data to be used with map to pin point you or use directions feature found popular TomTom or alternatives.
