New Nokia Maps impressive

April 4th, 2010 by Patrice

Last week (or was it the week before that?) I got an update alert for Nokia Maps. Just in time as my trial days for the Nokia Maps version pre-installed on my N86 MP8 were almost counted.

I had to free some space on my c: drive (did you know your Nokia S60 has c:, d: etc drives? I did but it still feels bizar to read that in an error message intended for the end-user) which wasn’t as easy as expected. But of course eventually it succeeded.

It is quite stunning what you get for free:

  • The user interface is slick and smooth.
  • There’re built-in Lonely Planet guides, as well as
  • Michelin Restaurant guides.
  • Several views (2d, 3d…)

Hard times ahead for Garmin, TomTom and the likes…
