Free mobile mapping… with optional upgrades
February 8, 2007
From this Saturday Nokia will be making its smart2go mapping and navigation platform available for free download. The platform allows for mapping and routing in over 150 countries and with an optional upgrade has support for full turn-by-turn satellite navigation in over 30 countries. The application allows people to view where they are on a map, search for points-of-interests (POI) around them and create routes to get them there free of charge.
Initially the service will only be available for selected Nokia S60 and Windows Mobile 5.0 devices other mobile OS platforms including Nokia S60, Series 40, PocketPC, Linux and Windows Mobile devices planned to follow.
Nokia plans to pre-install the smart2go mapping and navigation application on all future Nokia Nseries multimedia computers under the name “Nokia Maps”. Current owners of Nokia devices may also download Nokia Maps to their supported devices.
