How hard it is to put world map in mobile so the calling party can be identified not only by caller number but also by geographical location interposed on a map?

This would be interesting. A lot of people would be up in arms about privacy though. It would be a great idea for parents keeping up with their kids. I am not sure today's phones have the processing power to deliver the info in a timely manner.

At the very least, a call could be identified by its area code or country code, which could then be made a catalog query. For example, a call from area code 707 could show up as "N Bay Area/NW California"
