Today Nokia announced the new version of their Ovi Maps service and introduced the Ovi Maps Player API. The new version offers some exciting extended functionality, while the Player API provides a simple way to embed video presentations of the service into any website using basic JavaScript.
The latest version of Ovi Maps offers additional features and services including high resolution satellite and terrain maps - both in 2D and 3D views. There are also 3D landmarks for over 200 cities, rotation, tilting, night view, and fly-over's and fly-through's.
The rich POI information of Ovi Maps is credited to Lonely Planet, Michelin and Wcities Destination Guide and comes to compliment the already available pedestrian and drive navigation services. Some of the other features of Ovi Maps like weather forecasts, safety and real-time traffic information, are now updated to cover more countries than the previous version.
