Nokia Maps 3.0 - walking

February 26th, 2009

Christian Spanring has been testing Nokia Maps 3.0 whilst on the hoof, and comparing it to its rivals.

He tested it on a journey to a subway station across a park, and whilst Nokia Maps 3.0 gives him a direct path, others variously invented ‘fantasy’ footpaths and provided a circular route. He reckons the cartography of the service is ‘very well done’ and works well on smaller displays.

Have you gone for a walk with Nokia Maps 3.0? What do you reckon to the service? Head over and share your experiences with Christian.

Nokia mapping tools – get set, then go!

December 3rd, 2008

A couple of excellent ‘How To’ posts explaining getting to grips with Nokia viNe have been posted by Cj and Ani.

Cj
reckons that although he found running the app simple, his friends had a few issues, so has published an extensive step by step guide, complete with screen shots of every stage. Similarly Ani on the S60 Blog has a guide which is the fruit of him working round the minor delays he had in setting up his viNe.

Once your tracking apps are set up, why not use them to track your progress across country as Kevin Neely did on his Rubbernecking site as he moved from one coast of the States to the other.

Any questions about viNe, jump through any of the links and ask away.

Nokia viNe on the N96

November 27th, 2008

MobileDan has been out with his N96 and has given the two life tracking services from Nokia a try out.

Having immediately ‘loved’ Sports Tracker and being enthused at seeing his pictures geotagged and on the site, he found that it was surpassed by the new viNe service. He includes screen shots of tracked ‘workouts’ to exemplify his points, and sees the service fitting into his daily life.

What do you think to the two services? Do you think viNe is an improvement? Let MobileDan know by heading over.

NokiaviNe ‘101’

November 15th, 2008

Glenn Letham is well known as an ‘evangelist’ of all things ‘mobile and geospatial’, so with glee has embraced the newly released NokiaviNe and brings the readers of his LBSZone pages a ‘how to’ on the service.

He has been using it on an N82 and has recently switched to an N95 8GB with no issues – he reckons NokiaviNe takes a lot of the functionality of Sports Tracker but bundles it to make it ‘more appealing’ to the everyday user. Along with detailed instructions and screen grabs, Glenn talks readers through his recent trips.

Read and inwardly digest, then if you have any questions you’d like to ask Glenn about the service, head over and fire away.
