Skyhook Wireless Announces New Version of Loki, the Free Virtual GPS Location Toolbar — Skyhook Wireless has announced the availability of the newest version of Loki, the location-based Internet toolbar. Building upon its strong adoption since May, this version introduces significant new features, local advertising capabilities, and performance improvements. Loki is a freely downloadable toolbar that relies on existing Wi-Fi devices to pinpoint a user's exact physical location and then leverages that location to make the Web revolve around the user.

This application currently works in USA, but could be a great big application for India and throughout the world.

Loki is the first application to combine the physical with the digital to make the Internet a truly personal and local experience. It lets you harness the Web by automatically identifying your exact physical location and then making the web revolve around you.

With one click, instantly find the nearest jazz band, directions to the closest Thai restaurant, the cheapest gas prices in town...or even pinpoint your exact location on a map. You can even share that location with others.
