Couldn't the maps which are added you your phone be used as the map in Nokia Vine.
This could be said about Nokia Sports Tracker and Nokia Friends View aswell.
I am sure this must have been contemplated by someone within the Nokia ranks, but it's probably not that easy.
Well with diffrent programs all using diffrent maps it would make a lot more sence to merge them in to one, and not fill the memory up of the phones.
All the apps other than Nokia Maps download the maps when required on screen like google maps. I assume these sit in a cache and are overwritten.
I do agree that from a user point of view that enabling other Nokia apps to utilise the map data downloaded for Nokia Maps would be a very positive thing to do.
Well as an example. With Nokia Vine. I'm going abroad tommrrow, and to save on cost of data abroad I will only use the internet when Wi-Fi is there. But things like vine, while can function without sending the infomation until I tell it to, there is no way to download the maps in advance.
I don't use google maps for the simple reason I can't download the maps in advance.
I think the same here -- having to download the maps while using an application is OK for when it's your last day of vacation and you've still got USD10 to spend on the "vacation SIMcard", but for most uses it's better to have the maps of the locations you'll be in already in the device --- this is not just cheaper, it's also way faster.
Nokia ViNe was a marketing initiative by Nokia (according to their own statement somewhere on the official website). Actually Nokia ViNe has more in common with Nokia Sportstracker then Maps... Your ViNes will show up on sportstracker (at least on the web) when you link the accounts... see the vine site for details...

Nice one Jamaal. Didn't know Vine still existed. Thought it was another Nokia Service that had trundled off to the server in the sky.
