Perfect for people on the go

The Nokia E71 boasts top quality personal GPS navigation for both walking and driving – the realtime turn-by-turn walk navigation is optimized for pedestrians and calculates the shortest route via pedestrian paths, through parks and malls and the drive navigation includes voice guided turn-by-turn directions from just about anywhere in the world.

A recent Angus Reid survey*, commissioned on behalf of Nokia, found that 60 per cent  of Canadians say that it is important to them to have visually-guided, turn by turn pedestrian/walk navigation as a part of their GPS application. The survey also found that 70 per cent of Canadians say that it is important to them to be able to search for points of interest when using a GPS tool and half (51 per cent) want to be able to search for nearby events. Ovi Maps has the advantage of offering all of these features. In addition to telling you where you are, Ovi Maps lets you know which restaurants, hotels, hot spots and attractions are around you with thousands of points of interest pre-loaded into the device. Ovi Maps also provides Satellite and Terrain imagery and three dimensional rendering of famous buildings to act as a visual aid in identifying where you are.

The stunning screen displays up to 16 million colours making it a pleasure to view photos, videos, maps and more.

The survey, which examined Canadians’ views and habits regarding GPS tools, also found that:

• Men (47 per cent) are more likely to use a GPS device than women (30 per cent).
• Only 38 per cent of Canadians are currently using a GPS device.
• People aged 18-34 are the most likely of any age group to use a GPS device on their cell phone.
