Nokia Maps - Smart2Go Goes Testing
Nokia Maps - Smart2Go Goes Testing
Martin Sauter is commencing testing Nokia's Smart2Go Service
Part 1. Navigation to close-by (100km) destinations. (available now)
Part 2. Nokia maps as a guide for finding a location in a city while walking (coming soon)
Part 3 Route planning and navigation for destinations 500+ kilometers away more demanding than the task in part 1 (coming soon)
"Most features of Nokia maps can be used for free. The most important ones are certainly the free"
In Summary his site runs through
License and Payment Model:
Pricing:
- Western Europe maps Sat Nav (Routing) for a 30 day period are €10.
- A three year license is €99.
- Download over Wifi direct to the Phone
- Download over the GSM/3G Nework (can be expensive when maps can be 100mb)
- using a PC with the Nokia MapLoader Software (Mac's not supported yet) - Mapperz Recommend - As this is the fastest way to obtain the digital maps bases
Selecting the Destination And CaCalculating A Route:
- using the current GPS location to a known destination
- address search bug (now fixed)
- address search takes about 15 seconds
- routing calculation took about one minute
- occasional navigation speech commands and podcast audio were mixed and played over the speaker simultaneously
- When accepting a call, the mapping application was terminated
- could still be improved
All credit to Martin Sauter for a good round-up of this service.
