Location-based services and increasing smartphone sales are leaving their mark on the mapping world: mobile-based map access is up significantly, while access from "stationary" points (i.edesktop and laptop PCs) actually dipped slightly.
It's not particularly surprising, but the rate of growth is remarkableMobile use increased by 39% year-over-year
by Comscore's measure, but access via apps doubled.
This suggests a nice halo effect from local-knowledge apps like Foursquare and Urban SpoonMobile browser use also increased, but I suspect that the gap will only widen, or the two will become difficult to separate; do web apps count as web or app?
