Free Navigation Via Nokia’s Ovi App
It appears Google is getting copied in a lot of stuff. Microsoft followed Google and introduced Bing, which I hear is performing fairly well. In fact, like Googling, the latest word ‘Binging’ is created for Bing. Though I personally prefer to stay with Google. Only its backdrop is all I like regarding Bing (if you didn’t know, Microsoft is coming in place of Google on iPhones. So it’s now going to be Bing, not Google). Another service of Google that is being replicated is free navigation service. Now Nokia too is going to bring in free navigation service via the Ovi app.
Nokia’s Free Navigation App Features:
Google’s Free navigation facility is free only in US where as Nokia would have its services free across the world. As per the given info, this function is going to be accessible in 180 countries with Voice Guidance available in 74 countries and traffic info for 10 countries.
The features surely look great and may add value to the present Nokia market. This is again a competition to Google which had recently driven the Droid phone with its free navigation properties. And the fact that Nokia app has more gains, it makes the competition even harder for Google.
Nokia mobile phone users can download the app from the official website of Nokia. At present, the app can be downloaded for just a few of Nokia models. However, in near future all Nokia cell phones will have the access to Ovi apps.
It might also enable Nokia get back the business it has been losing recently. It’s time for Nokia to hit back industry. Having said, you can never predict when other Smartphone maker will emerge with something even more useful and counter back Nokia. Until then, let’s wait and watch how good the new feature of Nokia does in the market and among its buyers and prospects.
