GPS influence on street signage?

nokia street

In the future, every street will be a Nokia street? Perhaps not, however we may expect some changes in street signage due to the arrival of mobile & gps technology. Once everyone is carrying a personal navigation device those bluntly placed street signage may become obsolete – Try and find a cellphone booth in your neighborhood if you are not convinced.


I guess the question is not whether GPS technology will alter street signage, but rather which navigation solution feels more natural. Lets do a quick poll.


Which of the following feels more natural?

A) Finding your way using street signs and a paper map.

B) Finding your way with an interactive GPS solution.
