(PhysOrg.com) -- Nokia is showing off a prototype that location enthusiasts consider the next step in indoor mapping. Nokia has built a Location Extension Protocol on top of the Bluetooth 4.0 specification, which enables a phone user to see what Nokia says are highly accurate 3-D maps of indoor environments. While that kind of function may seem pointless when moving around in a small apartment, it is far more important for what Nokia has in mind.
