and Reference Guide

Nokia uses this setting for their factory Movie World, so instead of downloading all the active tags in the database which include multiple countries, users will only get the tags associated with the country they are in.

Cell ID

Cell ID uses a location determined by triangulating the cell tow- ers that a phone is using. Tags taken with active Cell ID will be associated with the range of the active cell tower. If you are in the Embarcadero area of San Francisco using the City Guide World where Cell ID tag location was used, you’re going to download the tags to your phone that were taken and associated only with that area’s cell tower.

Cell tower ranges differ by area and region, so it’s hard to say how far a tower can reach. While it’s a fairly specific range in urban areas, the range can be quite extensive in rural areas. Cell ID is an appropriate setting for a world where users will be trying to locate a range of data, as in “find me nearby movie theatres.”

Cell ID/GPS

Using the Cell ID/GPS setting combines the best of these two technologies, using GPS when available, and using Cell ID as an alternate when GPS is not available. With this setting, only those tags taken within the Cell ID or GPS location will download to a user’s device when in that area.

GPS Only

The GPS Only option provides precise location information by connecting to the GPS satellite system. This setting requires an active connection to the GPS system when creating tags with the client on a mobile device.

If tags are taken with the GPS setting (and tags with this setting can only be taken if the device’s GPS is active at the time of tag- ging), then only those tags within those associated GPS coordi- nates (with a range of 100 by 100 meters) will be downloaded.

If GPS is not active, the tags will not download, and the GPS un- available icon will display signaling that the tags have not down- loaded. When you move out of an area, the tags from previous GPS coordinates are deleted from the device to avoid building up a huge tag count on the phone.

Nseries specifications

The Nokia Nseries, launched in the mid-2000s, represented a groundbreaking line of multimedia smartphones that combined innovative technology with sleek designs. This series reinvigorated Nokia’s reputation as a leader in mobile phone technology while catering to a new generation of tech-savvy users looking for powerful devices that could handle various multimedia tasks.

One of the standout features of the Nokia Nseries was its commitment to high-quality multimedia capabilities. Equipped with advanced cameras, many models boasted Carl Zeiss optics, allowing users to capture stunning photos and videos. The Nokia N95, for instance, featured a 5-megapixel camera that set a new standard for mobile photography. In addition, the Nseries often included dedicated multimedia buttons, making it easier for users to access their favorite media apps and functions.

Displaying vibrant colors and impressive clarity, the Nseries devices typically used high-resolution screens. These displays not only enhanced the multimedia experience but also made browsing the internet, reading e-books, and enjoying games visually engaging. The inclusion of features like a built-in music player supported a rich audio experience, with many models offering support for various audio formats.

Connectivity was another hallmark of the Nseries. Users could expect 3G capabilities, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth support, allowing seamless sharing and downloading of content. The devices also usually incorporated GPS functionality, a feature that became increasingly important for navigation and location-based services, marking the Nseries as a pioneer in integrating location technology into mobile phones.

Software-wise, Nokia Nseries phones ran on the Symbian operating system. While not as user-friendly as later platforms, Symbian provided users with a level of customization and extensive app availability through the Nokia Software Market. This allowed users to personalize their devices according to their preferences, maximizing their utility.

The Nokia Nseries encapsulated a perfect balance of form and function. The sleek designs and premium materials reflected Nokia’s commitment to quality, while the powerful features emphasized the trend towards multimedia smartphones. By combining photography, video, music, and internet capabilities, the Nseries paved the way for today's smartphones, influencing how devices are designed and utilized in modern life. Though the series has been discontinued, its legacy remains visible in the evolution of mobile technology.
