After a beta stage that saw Nokia Maps 2.0 being downloaded over 240,000 times, the new mapping and navigation application has been finalized and is available for download. Nokia Maps 2.0 covers over 200 countries thanks to the use of vector map from Navteq and TeleAtlas and it features:

• Improved optional Car Navigation equals PND-level car navigation experience with faster routing.
• Easy-to-use, updated User Interface features including a new navigation carousel with pre-defined navigation views - i.e. navigation, arrow, bird-eye.
• Top-of-the-line navigation features: signposts, multi-stop route planner
• Optional pedestrian navigation efficiently walks you from A to B with visual guidance. It helps you to locate yourself by giving information about the surrounding buildings, streets and parks and, if the device supports it, notifies the direction you are walking.
• Nokia Maps 2.0 includes public transportation information (station entrances) data in 17 cities with localized icons for stops.
• Advanced multi-sensor positioning using A-GPS, and pedestrian orientation using the compass feature (Nokia 6210 Navigator needed for built-in compass usage)

• Signature "one-box search" allows you to search through places, addresses, restaurants, nightlife, outdoor, accommodation.

The new Discover now has satellite images and can provide rich multimedia guides for some of the biggest cities.
