A company called Earthcomber has introduced books made for mobile devices that combine mapping and personalization. Earthcomber LLC has labelled the new 'mobile books' as "Spot Guides". Earthcomber LLC created the
free technology that incorporates maps and personal favorites with traditional travel, reference and other mainstream publications. Among the first offerings are city guides from Mobil Travel Guide (the company's first venture into mobile publishing) and Avalon Publishing's Moon Metro series.
Spot Guides run on Palm OS phones and PDAs, and provide location sensing and area searching with or without Global Positioning System (GPS). Versions for Windows Mobile, cell phones and BlackBerry devices are in production. Users with GPS are automatically positioned on Earthcomber maps. Users without GPS can use Earthcomber's intelligent maps to position themselves. In addition, every location and point of interest in Earthcomber is mapped by latitude and longitude, allowing Earthcomber to provide the user with precise, proximity searching based on where the user is at that moment.
