Google Navigation vs Nokia Ovi Maps – Dogfight! Pt 2
Aaron visited the SF Bay Area, so he and Noah grabbed two GPS-enabled smartphones and hopped in the hybrid for a day of cheesy tourist stuff. What better venue for a Navigation Dogfight between Android’s Google Navigation and Nokia’s Ovi Maps? Forums: forums.phonedog.com Win Free Phones www.phonedog.com More Videos: www.phonedog.com
My OVI maps on my E71 is not free. Idk, it says my license has expired which is not cool. I dont wanna have to pay for GPS when Noah says it should be free =(
that so lame comparing E72 and nexus one.. try using the n900, n97, n5800
why on earth you would compare navigation on different size screens? why didn’t you compare N97 or n900 with nexus so it would have similar size screen? worthless review, really…
yep I thought what also. But then again Nokia did pretty good considering that in only was using GPS. Google nav will be a stupid idea outside of your country because of roaming costs.
I move from Nokia to allow free navigation on their phones (well, most don’t have it yet but are told they’ll have it soon) is just genius. And the fact that they are one of only two companies with the entire globe mapped makes it very good. Maybe in the US with a data-plan Google nav wins but all and all, having offline navi in your pocket abroad is just very very clever. And in Europe people travel abroad more. In my book, all situations considered, Ovi maps wins.
Instead of E72, you should have used N97, because it has a bigger screen, but anyway I vote for Google™.
My vote goes to Ovi Maps just not on the E72. It’s free navigation anywhere in the world. We can’t use Google Navigation in Europe yet but even if we did, you can’t travel through countries and use it because it’d just cost of a data connection.
To have been a more “apples-to-apples” comparison, the E72 should of had active service like the Nexus – allowing A-GPS to kick in. Would have been more accurate(?)
Google Nav is so much better!
The e72 is a lousy GPS device, you should try the N97 or even the 5800
not fair i would have used the n900 or 5800 navi edition. that would have been a better fight. but this is a pretty good fight
Google maps vote for me
, Love it on my droid
wow everybody here vote for stupid Ovi Maps
I want to see Google Navigation vs Sprint Navigate on palm pre
Really, Noah? A Prius????? Come on, man, Ford Fusion Hybrid get like 15 more MPGs than a Prius, and has more interior space. Any who nice video.
Look out your brakes are gonna fail!
DAMN i better pay my parking ticket
my mytouch did not get too hot when navigating, so it may be just the nexus, or just yours.
