Nokia has added new features to its mobile mapping application, with
a revamped user interface and a status indicator to alert users when
they're connected to a GPS satellite. From the web site: "Nokia Maps
needs either a built-in or external GPS receiver for real-time
navigation or finding your location. Even without GPS you can use Nokia
Maps to browse maps, locations, points of interest and to plan a route.
If your mobile device has a built-in GPS receiver such as the Nokia N95,
you are good to go as it is with Nokia Maps. You can also use Nokia
Maps with an external GPS receiver. Bluetooth technology creates a
wireless connection between the GPS receiver and your device. With
Nokia Maps, there are free maps available for more than 150 countries,
with navigation supported for over 30 countries. In order to get a
satellite fix, you need to be outside with a clear view to the sky.
With navigable maps, you can use the full range of navigation features,
such as real-time tracking of your route and voice guidance. Routing:
With Nokia Maps you can easily plan a route to your destination. Simply
indicate your starting point, and your destination, and Nokia Maps will
plot your course with easy-to-read directional arrows. More than 3000
city guides available for Nokia Maps. If you would like Nokia Maps to
give you clear voice and visual guidance turn-by-turn, just upgrade
your application with the extra voice-guided navigation service. Tagging
lets you save the spot on your map as a landmark and then send it to
your friends. Whether you are meeting up or recommending a restaurant,
when you've found the desired place on the map you can send it quickly
and easily, via MMS, SMS, email, Bluetooth or infrared."
