Nokia Maps | Top Story | Travelling – out and about
January 24, 2012
I just got back from a 3 week trip to Hong Kong and Beijing (more details about that in a future post). This trip made me appreciate how much Nokia Maps on my N8 and m.maps.nokia.com on my iPad help when I?m away from home. Hence, I discussed with my colleagues about their travel best practices as well. Over the last few days, together we built our Top Ten list of Nokia Maps related best practices to make the most out of your Nokia Maps on Symbian^3 devices.
Save time, data and money: Download free maps over Wi-Fi. Make sure that you have downloaded the free maps for your region, and have uploaded the maps of the regions to where you will be traveling.
- Download lots of Apps: Now commercial, Nokia Suite with Nokia Maps v3.08 is the best location offering from Nokia so far. With Individual short cuts to Maps, Drive, Public Transport, City Lens, Pulse, Weather and more, you can customize the shortcuts on your home-screen so that the apps you want is just a click away.
- Start using the Weather App: The Nokia Weather App is easy to use. The hour by hour update is very helpful, and small details like wind direction, sunrise-sunset time and phase of moon are well integrated to the app to take it above and beyond the other weather applications
- Use Landmarks View : When you are driving or walking, use Landmarks view on your maps to get a better idea of where you are. It helps you to better orient to your surroundings.
- Save Data and Money when Traveling: Use Maps in Offline mode when you travel to save on data costs. Change your phone Profile to Offline mode, yet still explore where you are. However, getting a GPS fix when offline may take time depending on where you are, so make sure that you stay put in a relatively open space ? which means not inside buildings or not when using the underground- for a minute or two for the fix to happen.
Part II of the post will be up in a few days. Meanwhile, try out these tips, and give us your tips to have a great Nokia Maps experience!
