Ovi Maps keeps getting better. The latest version of Nokia’s free navigation application/service adds few handy features, including:
- Ability to download street maps directly to your device! A new feature called “Update” on the main menu will allow you download Street Maps without a PC. Of course, it is suggested to use this feature only when in a WiFi hotspot.
- “My Position” and “Search” are now integrated – now called Map. When accessed, it will show your last map view.
- Add back button in Favorites
- Long tap functionality for deleting and renaming of collections and routes
- Popup for first time use – to inform you to download new map data (when upgrading 3.04 > 3.06 for the first time)
- Improved behaviors of transit lines settings in map toolbox (no more grey out)
- Compass calibration hint
- Refreshed place details information view
As usual, Nokia wants your feedback. If you want to share your two cents, feel free to do so in the comments section of this post. And you can download the latest version of Ovi Maps beta from here.

Dusan Belic
Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
