Comment ~~seems to be another name for Indoor positioning system~~ --PaulT2022 (talk) 01:47, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Per the exactly one good source that I can find on this, ISBN 9783540367284, it's the didn't-really-catch-on name for what nowadays a lot of people think of as simply how maps work: one can be at a location and look up that location's map on a mobile 'phone. I'm not really convinced that this was ever documented enough, or caught on as a distinct concept, to satisfy our Wikipedia:no original research policy. It gets 1 sentence in that book.

Good point, Delete as neologism. PaulT2022 (talk) 14:57, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

delete I saw the same thing as Unc G: it's a name for how on-line mapping is used in the age of smart phones that someone tried to turn into terminology but which didn't stick because it was too obvious, from the earliest days of the tricorder. Mangoe (talk) 13:29, 24 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
