Update: Nokia’s Sat Nav phone, the N95

28

2006

Following yesterday’s news of Nokia’s new N95 high-powered phone, additional details have emerged on its sat nav capabilities.

The N95 will have access to maps of more than 100 countries and start selling for $697 (around €550), Nokia said.  Maps for the N95 will be free and services like city guides and voice navigation will be made available for an extra charge. 

With the new map functions, Nokia is challenging makers of navigation equipment like TomTom. Nokia agreed in August to buy Gate5, based in Germany, for an undisclosed amount to add mapping, routing and navigation software to its phones.
