Japan's KDDI offers 3-D navigation on cellphones

Japanese mobile operator KDDI have unveiled plans to let users find their way to shops and restaurants by looking at 3-D satellite images on their cellphones, according to the AFP.

"The service, to be launched at the end of April, is an updated version of its already popular "EZ Navi-Walk" programming which uses GPS and offers vocal guidance.

The new version offers three-dimensional images that show surrounding buildings and sidestreets or directions once one is inside a building."
