Nokia today announced that its Nokia Maps navigation service is now available on iOS and Android devices. Rather than offering it as a a native iOS and Android app, Nokia is offering it as a HTML5-based web service.
Until now, owners of an iPhone, iPad or Android (2.3) device were stuck with other mapping services. However, if you now point your browser to m.maps.nokia.com, you’ll see that a world of clear and concise directions awaits you.
The service supports voice navigation but only for journeys by foot at this time. It also requires an additional 2MB download to do so.
It also offers a number of different map views including Map view (default); Satellite view, Public transport view; and Live traffic view.
Nokia Maps for Mobile Web works on Android 2.2 and 2.3, iOS 4.3+. It should also work with the Nokia N9, webOS and BlackBerry 7.0+ devices although is still listed as ‘experimental’ on those.
