This is a radical revolution, …
all the stuff is gonna change up, …

The issue is not the form factor, …
what matters is, the way you
get it, is completely different

41. In General we found out that
Younger generation has a rather positive attitude towards new tech and
higher interest in using features during holidays than the other age groups
Non-holiday-maker are less interested in using features during holidays,
as they apparently had not the opportunity to experience the advantages
this year
The 3 main barriers for LBS-usage are roaming costs, expensive device,
insecurity of data (except for France lack of info in rural areas instead of
insecurity)
In general, men use at least two times more often the mapping service,
browse the internet and use apps on their mobile than women
Abroad-holiday-maker use the mapping services more often than
domestic-holiday-maker
