Ovi by Nokia Bringing Social and Local Together
summary
Nokia makes navigation a built-in phone feature, shipping free turn-by-turn navigation on 12 handsets across 180 countries with routing in ~80 countries and 50 languages, claiming 7 million downloads and about 100,000 downloads a day (now moving to pre-install). The system collects GPS probes for traffic, supports offline maps for low‑connectivity markets, and exposes navigation, pedestrian guidance and sharing hooks via an SDK based on web technologies so developers can build contextual LBS apps quickly.
