Introducing Nokia Maps



See the world in a new mind blowing way with Nokia Maps. Get a clear view of the road ahead with Drive. World-class car navigation with turn-by-turn visual and voice guidance, plus added real-time traffic feeds and dynamic re-routing to help you arrive on time.

Innovative turn-by-turn pedestrian navigation, Walk is the shortcut to learning a new city on foot. With advanced multi-sensor positioning, you can cut corners like a local or hop on at clearly marked transport stops.

“Drive” is what we call the new and beautiful car navigation feature. It looks great and is easy to use while driving: change “views” by clicking left or right, select functions from a “grid” menu. The Drive interface is transparent black and the turning arrows dynamically show the exact angle of the turn. Check out driving time and average speed for your journey and plan multiple stopover routes.

I’m very excited about a new feature that we call “Walk”. It lets you find your way in the city when you are on foot. It is easy to use and discreet (no voice instructions). Small “breadcrumbs” are shown where you have been walking so you easily see what direction to take. “Walk” is included in the navigation license for car navigation but can also be purchased separately. If you have already purchased car navigation with older Maps version, you will now get “Walk” free of charge!

The beta offers satellite maps in 200 cities worldwide. Satellite maps can be turned on when browsing the map and also in “Walk”. The satellite maps are downloaded over the air and are saved automatically. Next time you start Maps the satellite maps will be there, no need to download them again.

The search is much, much improved. It is now as simple as typing part of street names or a place in a search box. Search results are listed by category (addresses, cities, restaurants etc.)

Places are personal. You are now able to save places as favorites, create collections (folders for places) and even save your routes.

What else? Better 3D mode and overall faster, better, and more beautiful :)

Upgrading to Maps 2.0 Beta is easy. You can continue using your old maps and licenses. It is also possible to upgrade your map data using the new Map Loader (also provided from beta labs). You need to run the Maps beta once first in the phone before connecting to PC.

Grab Nokia Maps 2.0 Beta while it is hot and let us know what you think about it!

Supported by most of the nokia mobiles having GPRS technology
in it.

Note that since this is a beta, some less important functions may be ‘limited’. Traffic feature for car navigation is still under progress.

Tip 1: Shortcut keys in the map

  • Use * and # keys to zoom in and out in the map
  • Use to 0 key to go to “My position”
  • Use the 1 key to change map modes (2D, 3D, Satellite, Hybrid)

Tip 2: Shortcut keys in Drive mode

  • The “grid” (options menu) layout imitates the keyboard. Items in the grid are also accessible directly through the keyboard.
  • The same shortcuts are also available in Walk
