LockMapper app from Nokia Collection (Major News for Indian Consumers: Nokia testing Operator Billing for Lumia Devices)

                  

Are you someone who travels a lot.? Do you like to have different lock screen on your Windows Phone.? Well, LockMapper is an excellent app for you.

LockMapper keeps your lock screen and live tile up-to-date with a map of your current location, at all times. It constantly updates in the background, but is smart enough to only update when you have moved, and at intervals designed to pro-long battery life, and reduce bandwidth usage.

                      

                   

 Another bandwidth saver is the ability to have a mini-map that only uses 20% of the data of a full map, and allows you to use the Bing image-of-the-day, or an image of your own as the main wallpaper.

You can customize what type of map to use (road view, aerial view, weather radar), and what zoom level you want. 

While the app is free, you'll need to spend INR 20 for satellite and traffic information support.

Now here comes the interesting twist. Many Lumia users in India don't have Credit Cards. This is where Operator Billing comes into play. Nokia supported Operator Billing for Nokia Store apps. With LockMapper, consumer will notice the new style of In App purchase in their Windows Phone too. (See below)

                                 

We tried to discuss about the unannounced service on twitter and got some positive response.

           @topgunalu @RichEdmonds Yes, it is part of an initial test for In-App-Purchase.
