Nokia Ovi Maps 3.0 Now Live

By: Peter Chubb | July 3, 2009 | 1 Comment

Nokia Ovi Maps 3.0 is now live, but it seems that a number of users might find it hard to make the switch from Google Maps. IntoMobile explains how he would like to say how great they think Nokia Ovi Maps 3.0 is, but they do not find any reason to move away from Google Maps.

IntoMobile goes on to say that if you live in a nation that have expensive data plans and want turn-by-turn instructions, then the new Nokia Maps is for you as you can preload maps. If you do not fall into one of those categories, then you should just stick with Google Maps.

The problem with the new Nokia Maps is certain to annoy a number of users and the reason for this is simple, you will have to download the file on to your computer first so that you can install the application on to your phone. That file will only work on a PC, but if you have a Mac, chances are you have an iPhone anyway.

Nokia Ovi Store launched in May, and is the latest Application store to try and take on the might that is the Apple App Store.

    That is simply not true. My Nokia e72 has over the air updates and the Nokia maps upgrade was available in this feature. You can also download Ovi maps from the Ovi store on your phone. Google maps does not give you voice for driving and walking….ovi does.

    I have been useing Google maps and was very happy with it. Now I use ovi Maps.

    The new version of Ovi Maps includes detailed maps, car and pedestrian navigation for over 180 countries. It also has turn-by-turn voice guidance for 200 cities in 74 countries.

    there are no hidden costs involved in the downloading of the new versions and currently 10 phones support the upgrade.

    The list includes the Nokia N97 mini, 6710 Navigator, 5800 XpressMusic and E72 models. Other smartphones, both old and new releases, will soon receive a firmware update to make them compatible to receive the new maps, Nokia said.
