THE 2010 Shanghai World Expo visitors will not have to worry about getting lost next year.
Visitors will be able to use their mobile phones to download global positioning system software for free, an official of AutoNavi, a Beijing-based digital map and location-based service provider, said yesterday after the company signed a project sponsor contract with the Expo organizers.
Visitors will need to have a smartphone that can download software, said Hou Jun, chairman of AutoNavi Software.
Visitors will get a digital map of the site on their handsets and be told what areas are crowded, Hou said.
Visitors can download the software via both the General Packet Radio Service network, or GPRS, and new networks for 3G mobile phones, Hou added.
Most Chinese mobile phones can access GPRS while licenses for 3G mobile phones were issued earlier this week.
Buses inside the Expo site and those running near the site will facilitate GPS devices.
