Nokia Beta Labs are asking everyone who uses Nokia Maps Navigation if they use their Nokia device in portait mode, or in landscape mode whilst driving.

They have a simple survey that would like everyone to participate, so head across to Nokia Beta Labs to let them know here, or go direct to the short survey here.

Beta Labs are also interested in as to why you use your device in your particular orientation, be it something not displaying as it should of your device, for example, call screen not working in landscape etc.

You can let the team know your issues in their discussions area on Beta Labs here.

In a brand new video posted to Youtube yesterday from Nokia, we are shown that maps.ovi.com now has the added functionality so you can now use Public Transport routing.

In this new video, we are shown this feature by way of the all new Ovi Maps 3D. Enjoy!

I have been fortunate to of been invited to Berlin on the 25th of this month where I will be brainstorming with the Ovi Maps team. The purpose of this is to highlight any known current issues Nokia users may have with the Ovi Maps on certain devices, but also to help better the Ovi Maps services also.

If you have experienced any issues with Ovi Maps on your device, I need you to let me know in this thread, but please include the following details…

• Nokia Device
• Device Firmware
• Version of Ovi Maps installed
• Issue experienced with Ovi Maps/Services such as Check-in etc
• How to replicate issue
• Any known remedy you use to get around the issues experienced

As mentioned above, I will be in Berlin from the 25th until the 28th of this month, so you have until the 25th to get yourself heard in this thread within our Nokiausers forums, and I will be your voice, and raise any issues you may have with Ovi Maps. You need to be a registered Nokiausers forum member in order to post in this thread.  Registration is completely free, and will only take a few minutes of your time to set up a new user account.

I will also be open to any ideas, and/or suggestions you may have on how to improve Ovi Maps and its services, including any UI & UE enhancements you feel need adding.

Look forward to hearing from you!
