Ever been in a situation where you are missing a map or two on your Nokia device because you forgot to download it with your PC and then transfer to your Nokia smartphone before you embarked on a trip? This happened just the other day when I went to Gibraltar and had forgotten to update my maps data base on my C7.
That’s why I was pleased to see that Nokia Beta Labs today have released a new Nokia Ovi Maps update -V3.06 that now allows you to download your maps directly to your device without a PC.
Here are a few of the new enhancements that you can find in this new update:
- Download street maps directly to your device! A new feature called “Update” on the main menu which allows you download Street Maps directly (via WiFi) to your phone without a PC!
- My Position and Search are now integrated (now called Map). When accessed, it will show your last map view
- Back button in Favorites
- Long tap functionality to delete & rename collections & routes
- Pop up for first time use – to inform user to download new map data (when upgrading 3.04 > 3.06 for the first time)
- Improved behaviours of transit lines settings in map toolbox (no more grey out)
- Compass calibration hint
- Refreshed place details information view
For further details and download instructions, head over to Nokia Beta Labs.
