The fun thing about working in technology is that sometimes you are lucky enough to build products you can use every day. And Nokia Maps is my favourite example so far. We ask the questions ‘where should we go?’ all the time – even when we are at home. To help answer that question we built the Nokia Maps experience for Lumia combining the great Symbian assets our fans were used to with the beautiful Panaroama experience on the Windows phone. And the result is an experience we think you are going to love when you are out and not sure where to go next or how to get there.
With Nokia Maps you can find the best nearby places, then check out reviews and see photos and user comments to hear about other peoples’ experiences there. It’s all about seeing the big picture, getting a real feel for a place and making informed choices. Once you decide on your destination you can use smart routing that includes walking, driving, and public transport to get know how to reach your destination and how long it will take.
Of course, places are more than just points on a map, so we’ve brought back the human touch with Nokia Maps. Connect easily with your destination, check out the one touch access to phone numbers, email addresses and websites. Plus you can share places with your friends via email, SMS, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn or Windows Live.
Some of you had a chance to check out maps as part of demos since we launched the phone. And it’s great to see you’re loving it! Wp7lab team says that “With information about public transport, driving, local points of interest and even dinning locations, the Nokia Maps is a great companion for those that like to travel and explore new things.”
Mobiletechworld was of the opinion that “Nokia Maps will be a really awesome addition to Windows Phone”
Clinton Jeff wrote that “The motto of Nokia Maps on Windows Phone is “feel like a local everywhere” so if you’re traveling around, here’s a great app for ya. I’m a huge fan of Nokia Maps, as you might already know, so I’m excited to see it released as an alternative to the *ugh* Bing Maps app.”
Thomas Ricker said: “It starts with a “beta” splash screen before zeroing in on your location. But for many, the fact that Nokia Maps is available for download is reason to celebrate….. Maps provides local walking, driving and public transport directions while highlighting cafes and other local points of interests over 3G or Wi-Fi networks. Of course, there’s a social element to Maps allowing you to review and share your location as well. You can also pin your favorite places to the Windows Phone home screen for quick access in the future. “
