Nokia here his newly renamed mapping application for iOS devices has iOS 4.3 and later released. The app is universal, so it works on iPhone and iPad, and it's free. Users of Nokia's Windows phone devices can find familiar experience, because it contains similar features such as in close to the places of discovery, but there are also important components as transit direction, not in Apple's own pre-installed maps app exist.
In fact has a public transport, indicating that routes shows handy and stops nearby on the map overlays. There are also driving and walking direction and even you can iterate through the days of the week when planning guides see times, traffic and other factors on different days and could affect planning. Search for locale opens routing options, as well as the website and phone number near remote interest, also info when they are available.
The other functions, the Nokia CEO Stephen Elop last week in a special event performed there, also, including a feature collections for cloud-based storage of your favorite sites, devices, cards of the community accessible (which may be not available yet according to place of residence) and the possibility of downloadable offline maps for the target of user's use at a later date to choose that. Overall, my first impressions are, it feels like a very capable and feature-rich alternative to Apple's own native mapping solution, but it does not contain only voice-guided navigation for walking directions, go for that.
If you are frustrated with Apple's solution, this is a very good option, and Nokia seems strongly be invested in the project, so it should get better from here.
