Man, I'm loving my Nokia 5800 XM so much now , v40 ,NSU for Win 7 , and this ! wow.

I dubt them companies are going any where

i wouldn't use my phone gps turn by turn when i am out on my boating the ocean or when i take my trips to Montana in mountains there still a market for personal gps

when on the ocean my phone would not be as good as nice marine gps unite or in mountains i would perfer a stander gps unit for map reading and so forth ]]>Jan 21st 2010 8:29AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/
Do you really think that Nokia with this move aimed at conquering the marine navigational positioning system ?
What moron would rely on a cellphone for navigation on a ship or an aircraft ?
This niche markets are not Tomtom, Garmin, or Navigon bread and butter in any case and by the way, I also doubt that NASA will rely on OVI maps to land the shuttle Columbia even if it's gonna be free and if the cuts in federal budgets will force them to cut some corners.]]>Jan 21st 2010 9:19AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/Jan 21st 2010 10:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/No shit, that was the whole purpose of his post. That TomTom and the like will STAY in business because people won't use their cellphones for sailing, hiking, cycling, etc.
Way to be a parrot.]]>Jan 21st 2010 10:52AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/Jan 21st 2010 11:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/They will be out of business as soon as this is available for my N97.

Good points. Not to mention major companies like Trimble, that make precision GPS equipment for the construction, marine, agriculture and surveying industries! Trimble even has sub-centimeter GPS technology in the market (that's a location precision of less than 1 cm.) - try that with a cellphone! ]]>Feb 25th 2010 12:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/Jan 21st 2010 5:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/When they see this....they will shit bricks.]]>Jan 21st 2010 2:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/Jan 21st 2010 5:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/Jan 21st 2010 5:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/True, but it will take ages. Giving the fact that Tomtom and Navteq are the only companies with complete global mapdata Google has to buy licence from either one of them. And something tells me Navteq isn't selling. So Google has two options: Wait for their streetview Google-mobiles to drive thru the entire world or buy licence from Tomtom. Now that Nokia has made Navigating free I suspect Tomtom would be down with that..

The way I see it, navigation will no longer be about who has the cheapest service. It's going to be about who can make it's service
a) more consumer friendly,
b) more accessible and
c) more complete with additional data such as gas-stations, restaurants etc.]]>Jan 21st 2010 6:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/
TomTom might be up for it, but it certainly will not be free. To give Google that would soon mean that almost all their income would have to come from Google.

Cheapest option in long run would be to buy TomTom I guess, this certainly affects the price tag.]]>Jan 21st 2010 7:18AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/Garmin has much better coverage with maps than TomTom or Navteq.

You do know why Google doesn't want you to download the maps and do stuff offline? Their business idea certainly isn't to offer free stuff.

People who hasn't done that had had to have a dataplan. But still, using this without a dataplan is terrible. It picks up your current location in 1-5 mins.

Here where i live, ppl usually turn on A-GPS to help cut down cold lock time. It will take 2-3kb only and translated to a few cents of prepaid data. Which is negligable and acceptable.

It does not need the huge data plan. ]]>Jan 21st 2010 6:33AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/21/nokia-ovi-maps-with-free-turn-by-turn-navigation-hands-on/..and your GPS then can stay with that?
