Nokia Maps 2.0 Goes to Semi-Public Beta

Update: Nokia Maps 2.0 is now available to all users! You can get your free download at the Nokia Beta Labs!

Let me start off by saying Nokia Maps has just came a long way with version 2.0. The beta, which has been released to a few lucky individuals, offers significant enhancements over previous versions -including satellite and hybrid maps, improved driving interface, and improved search functions. AllAboutSymbian and SymbianGuru have already taken it for a test run, and initial feedback looks to be quite positive. Here is a quick rundown of what to expect when things go live: 

• 3 Year licenses are no longer an option -who uses anything for 3 years anyway?
• The Walk and Drive are now split up; the Drive license does however include the Walk License
• Driving interface overhaul -Transparent titles, satellite mapping, and better turn indicators
• Walk mode offers 'breadcrumbs' to help you find your way
• Traffic guides for 18 European cities, more are expected down the road
• City Guides now includes downloadable pictures and videos

Be sure to check out SymbianGuru and AllAboutSymbian for some excellent screenshots and feedback on the beta.
