MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif.-- Sept. 7, 2004--Mobile Digital Media (MDM), the world's leading publisher of high quality consumer software for mobile devices, today announced the next generation of mobile travel solutions on a plug-and-play MMC card for Series 60 phones.

Directions On The Go is a unique product offering complete on-device navigation, without the need of a PC connection or wireless carrier signal, to millions of Nokia phone owners. With Directions On The Go, users choose major metropolitan areas or cities from a website and load their selection onto the MMC card via the free card reader that ships with the product. Once the MMC card is added to their phone, users can then calculate and display turn-by-turn door-to-door directions right on their Nokia mobile phone.

"The days of having to pull over to ask for directions or print out your route from your personal computer are over," said Barry Cottle, CEO of MDM. "Now Nokia phone users can easily specify their starting point and destination and Directions On The Go will guide them until they arrive."

Nokia Directions On The Go features:

-- Immediate route calculation of door-to-door directions without a PC or wireless connection on Series 60 mobile phones

-- Alternate route calculation should starting point or destination address change

-- Pan, scroll, and zoom between multiple levels of map detail, from street/neighborhood to entire metropolitan area

-- Find locations by address, street name, tap-on-map, nearby point of interest, or fuzzy logic search

-- Thousands of built-in points of interest including gas stations, parking lots, banks, landmarks, etc.

-- GPS support to locate and track your position (compatible GPS receiver & Bluetooth connection required)

-- Free MMC card reader for PC or Mac to swap cities from online website onto MMC card
