Thursday, 15 February 2007 Recently Nokia made available the smart2go mapping and navigation platform - a free download that enables people to use the most comprehensive map coverage offered on a mobile device.
Still in Beta, the app came 3 days late but was apparently worth the wait as some 30,000 downloads have taken place already. 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. Now the beta application can be downloaded from two locations; www.smart2go.com and www.nokia.com/maps.
