New version with Ovi integration offers 3D landmarks and other
enhancements including online planning on the web

Barcelona, Spain - Nokia has released the latest version of its
award-winning mobile mapping and navigation service, Nokia Maps, as
well as its personalized online mapping experience on Ovi by Nokia.
This combination of Nokia Maps plus Ovi is the first free service
that allows people to pre-plan their journey at home on their PC and
synchronize with their mobile, giving access to pre-planned routes
and favorite destinations while on the move.


In addition, Nokia Maps has been updated to include a number of new
features such as high-resolution aerial images, 3D landmarks for 216
cities and terrain maps, as well as a new route overview during
routing and during Drive, the purchasable turn-by-turn car navigation
guidance.


"Nokia has clearly increased the usability of Maps, and now with the
integration of Ovi services, the functionality of this service can
also be seen," says Michael Halbherr, vice-president, Nokia location
based experiences. "Enabling Nokia Maps the ability to synchronize my
favorite places between my mobile and PC. becomes the main reason for
anyone to switch from other personal navigation devices to Nokia
Maps."

Maps on Ovi is becoming more than just a mapping tool. Over the
coming months, Maps will become a destination for people to save and
organize places, pre-plan trips and post-edit them. People can share
their location and all their personally and socially meaningful
content with friends, inviting them to join in activities and share
experiences.

Other new options for Nokia Maps include instant access to real time
information such as camera alerts, safety spots and traffic
information for selected countries, as well as Wcities event guides
that give real-time information for events and movies in over 450
destinations.

Walk, pedestrian navigation, improves from where the last version
left off, by adding straight-line guidance, which allows you to walk
the shortest distance between point A and point B.  Should your
journeys be more urban, beeps and vibrations during Walk navigation
alert you when you need to make a turn along your route. The level of
detail in the maps has increased to the point that you can view
multiple entrances to the same underground metro station.

The higher map quality is a direct result of the relationship that
now exists between Nokia and NAVTEQ. The close working relationship
allows Nokia to better utilize the map data that NAVTEQ supplies,
which provides a higher quality and extensive coverage that enables
more effective location based experiences.

The new version of the Nokia Maps application for selected devices is
available on the Nokia Beta Labs website:


http://www.nokia.com/betalabs. The online version will be accessible
from 

http://maps.ovi.com. As both versions are released as a Beta,
some product features may not be available in the Beta release, but
instead, will be added into future releases.
