Add Good Things to Ovi Maps online or from the N97 or new N97 mini #OviGoodThings

October 26, 2009 By Editor

Last week in London, some 10 Mobile bloggers and mobile technology enthusiasts were in London to help Nokia promote the launch of Ovi Maps Good Things campaign.

A promotion designed to encourage users of the Nokia N97 and new N97 mini to add “Good Things” to Ovi maps… check out more details and add your good things at http://maps.ovi.com/goodthings/ – once uploaded, your good things will appear on the World’s largest sign post suspended in the center of London for all to view.. the sign arrow will even be oriented to point in the direction of your good thing along with your message.

More about the sign post – To celebrate the launch of the Nokia N97 mini with in-built OVI Maps, the 40ft long signpost will be unveiled on 23rd October, asking people to send in their ‘Good Things’ to http://www.nokia.co.uk/maps or text 62010 to have it displayed above London’s skyline. Nokia’s record-breaking signpost is in the shape of a huge brightly lit arrow pointing to the nation’s favourite places as sent in by people across the UK. Anything from the best gastropub in Grimsby to the finest hotel in Brighton, or even a special one off gig with Alexandra Burke.
