The services include voice-enabled driving directions and asset tracking. The companies said developers are working on more applications. The two companies cited LBS applications being used by General Motors and Avis.

Avis is using Motorola's Viamoto at the DFW and Washington Dulles airports to give audible directions to car renters.
