Yesterday Nokia has released Free for all Nokia OVI Maps Drive and Walk Navigation in form of OVI Maps for mobile update version 3.03_10 Wk 1 available at OVI Maps , currently available for only 10 devices including X6 , N97 Mini , E72 , 5800 XM and 5800 Navigation , 6710 Navigator , 6230 Classic , 5230 , E55 and E52 , with more devices including N900 to follow , it’s a major upgrade .
The main highlights of the update along with Free Licenses are
Integration with OVI Maps online i.e user can sync their favorites with OVI Maps on the web
Integration with Facebook where user can share their location on Facebook .
The lookout of the software had been changed and now it looks more like the OVI Maps beta launched in Nokia World for S60v5 devices .
Lonely Planet Guides has also been integrated in the software although not much in detail ( For Pakistan ) but still they do the job , the guide includes local information , Places to visit , eat , stay , night life etc .
As I’m in Pakistan , the detailed street maps are not available for the country but major highways and some key locations are covered , maybe in the coming months Nokia will launch full fledge mapping for Pakistan
Weather had been added which gives the current weather forecast , this feature had been added from the Nokia Here and Now Application .
Overall OVI Maps for Nokia is a welcome edition and very simple to use, just start the application and choose the options and you will be all set .
I’ve downloaded it and using it for trial purposes but the feedback will come once I’ve used it for a few days so wait for a detailed overview of Nokia OVI Maps coming up soon .
