Nokia Beta Labs

Ovi Maps for Mobile graduates!

Written by: Kee, Maps team

Hi all,

On behalf of the Maps team we are pleased to announce that Ovi Maps for mobile has now graduated from Beta Labs. It has been a long old journey since we first launched it to Beta Labs back in December last year and we now feel that the product is finally ready for the public.

“Lessons learnt” – we would like to take this opportunity to mention a couple of the key learnings for us all within the Maps team – the management of the discussion forum and communication. Within Beta Labs, the Ovi Maps for mobile page was clearly the most active and we were completely overwhelmed with the number of discussion threads. For the future, we already have some good ideas to improve the structure of the forums so that there are clear sections/areas in order to avoid duplications – in turn, this will hopefully improve the communication between yourselves and the Maps team.

As mentioned in the last posting, we do welcome your suggestions to improve Ovi Maps for mobile and even if it hasn’t been included into this final release, we will collate it and take it into account for the future releases.

We thank you all for your contributions over the last 7 months or so – this has really made a real difference to the development team in improving the application.

We hope that Ovi Maps for mobile will make a difference to your daily life and we look forward to working together on the next Beta release!

Kee and the Maps Team
