Apple’s Maps on iPhone vs Nokia Maps 2.0

Written by Meraj Chhaya on June 9, 2008 – 10:50 pm

I wouldn't know about that. We can only be sure after a real review, but here are the features of the Maps on iPhone after the jump. Location-based services are included, and so is GPS location via Wi-Fi and cellular towers (A-GPS). The most important bit is the software, and that you will RTTI (Real Time Traffic Information), and 3D maps with hybrid view (sattelite and roads).

Find yourself.

iPhone 3G finds your location via GPS or by triangulating your position using Wi-Fi and cellular towers. It also finds points of interest by keyword: Search for “coffee” and iPhone shows you every cafe nearby.

Get directions.

Get directions to wherever from wherever. View turn-by-turn directions or watch your progress with live GPS tracking.

Enjoy the view.

Just like Google Maps on your computer, Maps on iPhone lets you switch between map view, satellite view, and a hybrid view of both. Multi-Touch makes the difference: Tap to zoom, pan, and change your view on the move.

See traffic.

Maps on iPhone shows you live traffic information, indicating traffic speed along your route in easy-to-read green, red, and yellow highlights.

Here are the features of Nokia Maps 2.0:

Drive

Drive navigation delivers you turn-by-turn to your destination. Voice guided, high visibility control with optional real-time traffic feeds and dynamic re-routing.

Walk

Walk navigation gets you there on foot. Cut corners like a local or hop on at clearly marked transport stops. Orientation for the urban landscape.

Search & Discover

Search is central to Nokia Maps. Discover what’s nearby, download multimedia travel guides, and get a different perspective with satellite and hybrid views.

Save & Share

Put your favourite places on the map and share your discoveries with friends. Send that spot quickly and easily, via MMS, SMS, email, Bluetooth or infrared.

Again I say, it is difficult to tell which one is better. A real review will help us decide. Unfortunately the iPhone 3G will only be here in the 11th of July.
