Ovi Maps graduates from beta
Filed under: Software, Nokia, Symbian
Following a beta kickoff late last year, Ovi Maps — the latest iteration of Nokia Maps — is now final and ready for download. It’s a pretty big upgrade from the product it replaces, bringing 3D landmarks, higher-resolution satellite imagery available in both 2D and 3D modes, a wider variety of point-of-interest information for destinations, integrated weather forecasts, enhanced pedestrian and automotive turn-by-turn navigation modes, and — a biggie for yankees — real-time traffic information for the US. It’s a big, worthwhile spec bump, and by our count, it’s currently compatible with 26 S60-based Nokia devices; owners of some recent phones (the E51, for example) will be disappointed to see that they’re being left behind in the old Nokia Maps realm, but who knows — maybe some sweet-talking (or fit-throwing) would help the situation.
