Yahoo! Local Search on the Road

Silicon.com has re-published a piece of news from their American cousins Cnet news about a Sat Nav company that will be offering Yahoo! Local Search listings as part of their service.

It's my impression that Sat Nav services have, for a long time, been able to tell you where the nearest gas station or fast food restaurant is. This sounds as though it will take things a good deal further, allowing users to search for all kinds of services.

It's a good example of the mobile web being overlayed on top of the real world.
