Race Around Your Streets On Ovi Maps Racing
Posted on 05 February 2010 by noor
If you love to speed up and wish to race around in your local town, then be thankful to Nokia as your wish has been granted by the Ovi Maps Racing .
It is the first location-based mobile game launched by Nokia, in which players can navigate through the location of their choice and race around the block as the wish. The tracks are generated runtime by utilizing actual map data by NAVTEQ and the GPS technology of the mobile handset.
However, unfortunately you will only have three racing cars to choose from, while touch controls allow you to move your car around.
The game can be downloaded from the Ovi Store but it’s only available to Nokia touchscreen S60 devices. The five most popular Nokia devices installing the download are: Nokia 5800 XpressMusic, Nokia N97 mini, Nokia N97, Nokia 5230 and Nokia E72.
According to Nokia, just over a week since the launch of Ovi Maps, the software has been downloaded over 1.4 million times.
Nokia has also announced that from March 2010, all the new Nokia GPS-enabled smartphones launched will include the new version of Ovi Maps, pre-loaded with local country map data and walk and drive navigation at no extra cost.

I have found my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic cell to be the finest overall We have owned. Just wish it had a slide out qwerty keyboard! Anyway, it doesn’t so adequate is more than enough. A good deal of persons whine concerning the digital camera, it does suck, but it is not that crucial to me-I possess a good Canon SD950 camera if I want pics. I am actually please with how customizable it really is and all the items I can do with it. Requires charging almost regular when used a fair bit. Considering about debranding it. Rogers (Canada) keeps issues quite locked down plus the greatest fw I happen to be able to upgrade to is v30 (one thing like that cannot remember the exact number in the moment). Sounds like v40 has some good characteristics I am missing out on.Nicely, glad I uncovered this forum, I hope to find out a whole lot more about what I can do with my telephone.
