On Thursday 21st January Nokia was preparing something big, svečilo the big countdown to this day. And it has become a revolutionary thing Nokia Ovi offering its navigation maps for free, before it is considered not to be deemed Euros (about 60 per year). But because Google was not the first about 2 months prior to also offer its new menu for Android is free but a few hooks, and that not only works in America and the map can not be saved to the phone but must be downloaded during the navigation of internetučo causes a particular problem in foreign countries. The new version of Maps OVI not support a mini models N97, 5800 XpressMusic, E52, E72, 5230, 6710 Navigator, 6730 classic and X6, more will be gradually supplemented. On the day of the announcement of this great news TomTomu shares fell by 8% and 4% for Garmin. The GPS manufacturer is but perhaps the worst administration aka could be because they do not free to offer. Nokia is a few years ago the company bought Navteq, which produces maps and is one of two producers of maps. A second company owned company TomTom.
Other companies like Garmin, Slovak SYGIC and others must pay for the maps by the manufacturer and so the idea to offer navigation software for free is unrealistic, and there have thus konkurovať.Nokia last year sold 83 million phones with GPS, which is about 50% of the market with mobile phones GPS. Nokia offers models with GPS already in the lowest classes, such as the Nokia 5230 and Nokia 2710 navigation Edition. Nokia thinks it's the return that will be more interested in the actual model with GPS so it's back. Bute this report spell the end for these manufacturers? After all, phones have slowly grind down devices such as MP3 players, cameras, watches and other but I thought that GPS navigation will still affect them but about the same fate. But mobile phones are probably at the top of the charts and they have a huge future.
