Nokia strongly places on navigation on mobile phone and, hence, wants to use in future the patents of the GPS expert Trimble in the area of Satellite navigation. Within the scope of an agreement with Trimble Nokia has acquired not only the exclusive rights for the use of wireless services via GPS and Galileo, but may licence the use also further. As a countermove Trimble receives them - however, not exclusive - rights to use Nokia patents for place-related services (location-based service) in his products. Im Gegenzug erhält Trimble die - jedoch nicht exklusiven - Rechte, Nokias Patente für ortsbezogene Dienste (location-based Service) in seinen Produkten einzusetzen.
