Nokia Moves Mobile Maps to PCs

posted May 13, 2008, 7:05 AM   by Eric M. Zeman

Nokia has extended the functionality of its mobile mapping software by moving it to its Ovi platform. Maps on Ovi will allow users to create maps and routes on their PCs, and then sync them directly to their mobile phones. It will also work in reverse, allowing users to create maps and directions on their phones, and then sync them to their PCs later for safe keeping. Users will also be able to geotag and mark locations along walked routes, and look up information about them via their PCs later. Nokia is still working to allow users to share routes and directions with other users. Nokia said the Maps on Ovi software will be available in September.
