Nokia updates map services (Finland)

Nokia has updated its Nokia Maps mobile application and the Nokia Map Loader for PCs. The updated Nokia Maps application has a streamlined user interface with improved nearby search and detailed categories. The company has also added a GPS status indicator so that the user will know when their device is connected to the satellites. The updated version also comes with a three-day trial navigation licence free of charge. The Nokia Map Loader is used to side load maps on to the device before the user needs it. The improved Map Loader transfers the maps up to ten times faster than the first version and enables downloading the voice guidance files. Nokia is also updating the map coverage during the second half of this year. Nokia Maps is being integrated into Ovi. Ovi is the door to Nokia’s internet services, including the Nokia Music Store, Nokia Maps and N-Gage games.
