Interesting article about how GPS and mobile phone technology is likely be applied to buses (iBus) and could also be to private motor vehicles. Nothing much for cycling, though.

London Cycle Maps on your mobile phone
http://www.bikeradar.com/news/article/london-cycle-maps-on-your-mobile-phone-16556
"A special edition of A-Z’s digital London Mini Street Atlas which includes Transport for London’s cycle route information has just been launched.
The digital map operates on a mobile phone or a GPS device and covers 150 square miles from Wanstead to Wimbledon and Brent Cross to Eltham. It has a searchable index of more than 129,000 entries, including streets, postcodes, districts, stations, hospitals and bike shops. Clicking an entry in the search results field will quickly display a map showing its location.
Used with a GPS receiver, the map moves to keep the cyclist['s position] at the centre of the screen. Current speed and the direction and distance to a chosen destination are also shown."

This is a system for sharing bike routes with others. You can record your routes by mousing points onto an on line map, or you can upload data from a GPS unit (.gpx format).
I tried out the mouse-map combination and found it pretty easy to use.
