Go download the latest build version 3204 of Nokia Maps 2.0 at maps.nokia.com. There were no changelogs, announcements, or autoupdate notifications so I actually found this version by accident after reinstalling apps for the Nokia N95 8GB. The previous version I had was build 2602. Nokia should really try to put update notifications on Nokia Maps for us.
Latest build for Nokia Maps 2.0
As far as changes go, I noticed it was a lot faster to calculate routes after choosing “Drive to.” I had problems with 2.0 build 2602 taking too long to calculate the route. I’d already be halfway done by the time it found out how to get me there. I’m not sure if this was a problem with the application or the Nokia servers, but the calculation is quick on the latest build.
I’ve used it today with the Nokia N95 8GB and it worked like it was supposed to. If you haven’t tried it yet, the voice navigation is really useful. My buddy in the passenger seat was surprised asking, “Is that your phone?!?” Here are some screenshots.
Driving only 10 mph over the speed limit
Nokia Maps automatically zooms in or out depending on your speed.
Searching addresses or places on Nokia Maps is still not as good or fast as the Google maps application, but having voice navigation makes it very useful. As long as Nokia Maps can find the place or destination, it is much better to use than Google maps.
