Nokia Maps used to be exclusive to Nokia handsets but it has just been made available by the handset maker on Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android platforms.
Nokia Maps is now available on iOS devices like iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad with iOS 4, and on Android 2.2 and Android 2.3 phones with HTML5-compatible browsers. Simply type maps.nokia.com on your mobile browser to go to the Nokia Maps page.
Here are some screen shots of Nokia Maps on my iPhone 4.
