Run on Nokia’s mapping and navigation application smart2go

February 15, 2007 By GISuser

February 15, 2007 — Espoo, Finland – Nokia announced that its smart2go mapping and navigation platform has been downloaded around 30.000 times during the first two days of being made available. The application is a free download that enables people to use the most comprehensive map coverage offered on a mobile device. The downloadable application was held back three days so that Nokia could make sure that the first experience with the application, even in its beta form, was a positive experience. Now the beta application can be downloaded from two locations; www.smart2go.com and www.nokia.commaps. “We regret that we had to disappoint even one person, but holding back the beta application a few days let us make sure that most people received a very good first impression of the application itself,” said Ralph Eric Kunz, vice-president, Nokia, Multimedia. “We were very thrilled to see the demand for the product over the weekend, and after seeing the number of downloads for just the PC map loader, decided that we needed to put more capacity when we launched the actual mobile application.” The application allows people to view where they are on a map, search for points-of-interests (POI) around them and create routes to get them there free of charge. Smart2go allows for mapping and routing in over 150 countries and with an additional purchase has support for full turn-by-turn satellite navigation in over 30 countries. Nokia is offering the smart2go application for free for select Nokia S60 and Windows Mobile 5.0 devices initially and has plans to roll out support for most of the major mobile OS platforms including Nokia S60, Series 40, PocketPC, Linux and other Windows Mobile devices. Nokia Maps may also be downloaded at www.nokia.commaps. About the “smart2go” mapping and routing application smart2go is new: the software turns mobile computers, smartphones and PDAs into local mapping and routing engines with a navigation option, providing worldwide mapping free of charge. In so doing, the unique hybrid solution combines the advantages of on-board and off-board navigation. Maps and location-aware content only need to be loaded once – they are then always available on the client. As smart2go will carry the application name “Nokia Maps” across many future Nokia devices, it will also be available for a diversity of other operating systems such as Windows Mobile 5 and Linux, in the future.
