Nokia just added the new Nokia 6710 to its Navigator series phones. 6710 uses the new integration of Nokia Maps with Ovi which allows users to pre-plan their journey on a PC and sync with their device.
Nokia which currently owns Navteq - one of the leading digital mappers in the world - is pretty much competing with stand alone GPS navigation systems with Nokia 6710, offering drive and walk navigation, full regional maps, a dedicated navigator key, a touch area for easy zooming, and a large 2.6″ that’s bright enough to be visible under sunlight.
Other features of Nokia Maps, which is now at version 3.0 include high-resolution aerial images, 3D landmarks for over 200 cities, terrain maps, weather service, premium travel and events content and traffic and safety warnings.
Nokia 6710 Navigator will be available starting third quarter of this year for about 300 €.
Here are some specs for the 6710:
- Dimensions: 104.8 x 50.1 x 14.9 mm
- Resolution: 320 x 240 pixels (QVGA)
- Ambient light detector
- 2 GB MicroSD card (with pre-loaded mega region maps)
