Name: Ovi Maps

Description: Satellite Navigation System

Summary: Ovi maps 3.0 or Nokia Maps 3.0 has been in a beta for a while now and even though its not out of beta yet it is in the final beta version. The update from nokia maps 2.0 to Ovi Maps 3.0 is a big one but it might not look like anythings changed except for some 3D models of some places of interest and a much better zoom ability. So why is it such a big update? what has really been updated is the map data and other things that helps your nokia N96 find its way either walk, driving or taking public transport. Ovi Maps has a few other tricks like being able to view the weather of the place you are viewing. All in all it seems nokia maps has be reborn as navigation application rather a world viewing application that was adapted.

Overview: I think that Ovi maps 3.0 is pretty good everything seems to work fine. Installation is a bit of a processes and any map or licence you buy now won’t be compatible with the final release so you mite want to wait till they release that but they say that both versions should work just the same. In any case I find Ovi Maps much better than before but it still has a few little problems.

To download Ovi Maps 3.0 you need this software and this one
