Nokia Maps goes 2.0 !

Friday, February 8, 2008

New version 2.0 of Nokia Maps (in private beta for now) will be available in the upcoming days ! According to AAS, this version includes :
- The driving navigation interface has been much enhanced, with proper turn indicators and transparent panels.
- There's a new pedstrian mode, with no voice instructions but with “breadcrumbs” that are shown where you have been walking so you can easily see what direction to take. (Walk is included in the driving navigation license for car navigation but can also be purchased separately at a lower cost)
-Satellite maps are now included (a la Google Maps) for 200 cities worldwide. The satellite maps are downloaded over the air and are saved automatically. Next time you start Maps, the satellite maps will be there, no need to download them again.
- Upgrade facilities are provided to convert old navigation licenses and maps to the newer formats. There's also a companion new MapLoader utility.
- There's real time traffic information handling
- There are now some video items in an expanded group of city guides

Stay tuned ;)
