Nokia might have found a way to keep the iPhone and Droid-crazy mobile market interested in the brand by offering a new version of Ovi Maps. How is that a big deal? Well, they dropped the subscription fees for the service, which means that the Ovi Maps software update now offers turn-by-turn navigation (for pedestrians and drivers) for free. That means you can now explore or get lost without having to think about the cost of a mobile navigation service.
The updated version of the software makes use of Nokia’s acquisition of NAVTEQ, who takes care of the maps and 3D landmarks in supported areas. Travelers, adventurers, and people who just have the time to “get lost” can also access Lonely Planet and Michelin guides if they need recommendations on where to go and what to do in a new place. Further improvements include a one-click menu that needs just “one click” to calculate the best routes to take to a destination.
The new version of Ovi Maps is now available to download, and currently supports ten phones, including the X6, N97 mini, E72, E55, E52, 6730 classic, 6710 Navigator, the 5800XM, 5800 Navigation Edition, and 5230 XM.
