Nokia Maps Suite 2.0 with Full Support for Nokia Belle

Soon after making the new Nokia Belle platform version available for its devices around the world, Nokia announced updates for some of the apps that users can take advantage of on these smartphones.

Among them, we can count the Nokia Maps Suite 2.0, which is now offering full support for the new operating system, while also delivering some additional enhancements.

Among these changes, we can count voice search and geo-tagged photo display, along with a new and improved Route Planner, and more.

The new Maps Suite offers users the possibility to find everything they want faster than before. To select how to reach a destination - including public transport - you will simply have to press and hold.

Moreover, the application provides users with one-tap access to Places and Weather right from the Home screen.

“Nokia Maps now also makes your maps more personal than ever. Turn on Photos to see your snapshots of the places you’ve been placed along your map. Create customized routes for sightseeing or to avoid traffic. You can even save your favorite routes to access them late,” the team at Nokia Beta Labs notes.

The application also comes with a new voice search capability, so that users can speak the destination to benefit from safer and easier searching on their devices while driving.

“New and improved landscape views in Weather and Drive make seeing what you need easier. And Weather now automatically shows you the weather for where you are, and can even show you what’s ahead,” the development team also explains.

“Now you can choose to see your photos from places you’ve been placed right on your map. Using the geo-tagging information in photos taken on your phone, Maps will automatically place them in the locations they were taken where you can relive good times or even share them with friends,” the team concludes.

Nokia Maps Suite 2.0 was made available for download for all Symbian handsets that run under the Nokia Belle platform version. It can be downloaded from Softpedia via this link.
