 Nokia announces two GPS enabled mobile phones with Nokia Maps pre-installed - Esato Special17 February 2009 Since the first Nokia Navigator made its appearance two years ago, the company has been updating and improving its location based services steadily and has now introduced the latest arrival in its Navigator line, the Nokia 6710 Navigator. Another new arrival is the Nokia 6720 classic, which builds on the Nokia heritage of traditional candybar phones that excel in all areas. I was given a demonstration of the Maps application which also will be available for a couple of other existing Nokia devices later. It has a couple of nice features specially interesting for pedestrians. It is something called 3D view where it is possible to change orientation around buildings in 3D. Another cool feature is the terrain mode where mountains and like are show on the map. "The navigation solution provided by the Nokia 6710 Navigator is second to none and provides everything you would expect from a dedicated GPS device with all the benefits of a converged mobile device," says Markku Suomi, vice president at Nokia. The solution includes the latest developments in the Maps software with real time 'drive and walk' navigation, full regional maps and hardware elements like the dedicated navigator key, touch area for easy zooming and a large display optimized for outdoor viewing. "We want to make the experience as simple and effective as possible, which means the navigation licenses are pre-installed and ready to use as soon as you turn on the Navigator," continues Suomi.
