Nokia Maps 3.0 with Ovi Maps

Nokia has introduced Nokia Maps 3.0 Beta, with better maps than ever before, enhanced Drive and Walk navigation and synchronisation with Ovi Maps Beta. (See video to the right).

The new release features:
  • Start-up sequence takes you to your current position as soon as position is found. If your position is not found in few seconds, you are taken to last known position
  • You can rotate the map, so you can for example view 3D landmarks from all directions. Just press 4 and 6 in map view. Pressing 5 takes you back to 'north up' view
  • In 3D view mode, you can tilt the view by pressing 2 and 8
  • 2D/3D mode works with all map modes, i.e. with Map/Satellite/Terrain

  • My Favourites menu is cleaned up and History list is moved higher in menu
  • My Places has option "Point me to" for any saved place/landmark, you the direction to that place on the map
  • In addition to the synchronisation of Favourites and Collections with Ovi Maps and vice versa (use in online mode, enable Internet connection), you can now plan routings on Ovi Maps and synchronise to your device
  • Finally, many bugs have now been fixed
