Both articles are right, for their perspectives that is. GPS needs to be designed around context. If it is driving, then the UI and performance needs to fit. If it is walking, then same. Nokia is addressing this with Nokia Maps 2.0 and its walking mode – and even more with a model that has a compass built in that Nokia Maps 2.0 takes advantage of. Now, who will put it all together?

GPS, 3G and 3rd party apps are the only features missing from the iPhone that in my opinion would make it the perfect handheld device. Thankfully it looks like we will be getting all 3 within the next 30 days or so. It’s going to be a good month.

GPS is a necessary feature for any smartphone that I use while traveling, period. Using it while driving in conjunction with something like Google Maps is a killer feature.
