AOL adds mobile services

America Online is rolling out some new services to mobile carriers, including the Instant Pictures feature for AIM
and two new MapQuest features. The Find Me feature uses GPS to help cellphone users locate themselves, get maps and driving directions, and find nearby sites of interest. The Traffic feature delivers realtime traffic info for 90 major U.S. cities. Verizon will be picking up the Mapquest Traffic feature, Cingular will nab the Instant Pictures offering,
and Nextel (or whatever Nextel becomes as it merges with Sprint) will start offering the Find Me service as early as next Monday.
