Nokia unveils free turn by turn Ovi Maps for all Nokia phones worldwide

Nokia has unveiled its new free turn by turn Ovi Maps service for all compatible Nokia smartphones. This service is said to be available to all users globally. The emphasis by Nokia is “Free Navigation on your Nokia. For Free. For Ever.”

The features which Nokia’s Ovi Maps will include in fact makes not only the likes of Garmin, TomTom, Co-Pilot vulnerable but also Google Maps Navigation…

• Ovi Maps will be available to over 180 countries, which by far exceeds that of what Google is offering (only USA officially)
• Ovi Maps will offer free turn by turn navigation in modes including by car, by foot
• When using driving mode, there will be lane assistance, traffic information (in 10 countries including the US), safety camera and speed warnings
• In pedestrian mode, users will be guided on shortcuts through parks and pedestrian-only zones in over 100 cities worldwide
• Maps are absolutely free, map updates will also be available in due course
• Weather reports
• Events guides
• Lonely planet guides
• Michelin guides
• Most importantly, Ovi Maps will work offline, this is a crucial kick in the a$$ for Google. This allows Nokia phones to reserve as much battery life as possible while using the app. Additionally, users won’t be racking up international roaming charges / data charges and be able to avoid getting lost in places where there is poor quality data signal.

Phones which are compatible so far include Nokia X6, Nokia N97 mini, E72, E55, E52, Nokia 6730 classic, Nokia 6710 Navigator, Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic, Nokia 5800 Navigation Edition, Nokia 5230. But as you’ll expect, there will definitely be many more upcoming new phones to support this. In fact, from March 2010, all new Nokia GPS-enabled smartphones will come installed with the new Ovi Maps application and pre-loaded with local country map data.

If you’re a Nokia user with one of the above phones mentioned, you can in fact head over to the Nokia link below and download it now.

World's Five Most Valuable Diamonds

Cullinan I (aka The Great Star of Africa)

Discovered in South Africa in 1905, The Great Star of Africa is the largest polished stone to be cut from the legendary Cullinan Diamond. Weighing 530.2 carats, it is now on display in the Tower of London, where it is mounted in the Crown Jewels at the head of the sceptre. It is literally impossible to put a value on it.

Golden Jubilee Diamond
At 545.7 carats, this is the largest cut diamond in the world. Graded as a ‘fancy yellow-brown’ colour, it was presented to the King of Thailand in 1997 to commemorate the fiftieth anniversary of his coronation. Thailand was experiencing economic difficulties at the time so, to avoid accusations of extravagance, the government referred to this stone as a large ‘golden topaz’.

Cullinan II (aka The Lesser Star of Africa)

Weighing 317.4 carats, this is the third largest polished diamond in the world. It was cut from the Cullinan diamond, the largest rough diamond ever found, which was discovered in South Africa in 1905. It is now part of the British crown jewels, forming part of the Imperial State Crown.

The Millenium Star

In 2000, De Beers and the Steinmetze Group put the ‘Millenium Star’ on display at the Millennium Dome in London. Within months, this 203.4 carat, flawless D-colour diamond was the target of a daring attempted robbery. Police seized the villains, which is lucky since the diamond had an insured value of no less than one hundred million pounds (USD 205,000,000). This valuation may well be an under-estimate.

The Star of the Season

In May 1995, a 100.1 carat pear-shaped diamond went on sale in Switzerland. The stone was free of internal flaws, and its colour was graded ‘D’, or perfect white. It was bought by Sheikh Ahmed Fitaihi for a world record sixteen and a half million dollars (£8,073,000).
