Google Navigation vs Nokia Ovi Maps - Dogfight! Pt 1

[rainedFond]

Seriousely?? That's Aaron 2 years ago??? I wish he isn't sick...

[rainedFond]

I hope u'll make a review for the newest Nokia Maps vs Google Maps.

[gh0zs86]

I really prefer Ovi Maps on my phone, I'm using Nokia N8 and it works great even without any internet connections such as in the rural areas, I travel a lot, and it is a very useful GPS navigation... Android & Apple maps & navigation just not as good -Malaysia-

[iFreeStyIe]

Why i dont have GPS connection with my Nokia E72 ??

[AyushBedi]

google navigation is available in US only ....

sucks ..!

[PhoenixNghi2]

@AyushBedi I'm using GMap Navigation, have no problems, VietNam.

[azmirreader]

Ovi Maps: The only part where Nokia really shine with everybody way back playing catch up.

I just don't get it why other cellphones big names like Samsung or Apple can't get it right!

Ovi maps:

- Free complete map downloads with regular updates!

- Offline navigation, even if you don't have a cellular coverage at all!

- Nice voice guiding.

I wish I could get Ovi maps on Android devices ... It's a shame I can't

[dsouzand]

Ovi maps now has voice guided street names! really awesome

[TheBradPeet]

fark google map!!! ovi maps voice direction navi much much better!!!

[gigabowser999]

Theres problems with the google maps navigation becouse it dosent work in all countries. I have unlimited data roaming in my android phone but here in Finland the google navigation dosent work.

[clubfun12]

for world travelers nokia maps is the only option.

unless you like to roam at high costs.

nokia has the only gpsmaps that can navigate offline without any costs

and go worldwide wherever you go for free at all times,

all others let you pay for internet roaming costs.

but if you just stay in your country with your local internetplan for your mobil ,

than it doesn't matter,

but the problem starts when you go out of your country..->roaming!!

so i would say take a nokia if you go around the world

[tuniturntablist]

Google maps is better , the map is a lot more detailed than OVI maps , at least for my country ...

[GGavinoo]

Does google navigation need to be online to function?

[alex21074]

@iDCju5tin yes you can just preload the maps using your computer

[misha4pats]

@ErbanD90 Google Navigation is free. Everything is free in it.

[ErbanD90]

does the google maps come with free navigation forever like the ovi maps ?? please answer...

[LolAttack100]

Thats unfair, nexus 1 vs e72, its like comparing a Jumbo Jet vs an Car

[macker666]

and nokia beta labs have just released another new beta for ovi maps constantly being updated

[asif987]

Android fan here, but I admit that Ovi is much better than Google navigation at the moment .

[TheQneb]

@asif987 I own both Samsung Galaxy S and Nokia C5, galaxy s is awesome but for navigation i perfer using C5.. so yeah, I think so too!

[razvy1997]

you just suck......try the new ovi on the N8

[ludeape]

You need to re-do this comparison on the Nokia N8 with Latest Ovi maps beta.. it blows everything else away. and you can even record your own voice for directions!

[Manmeetthebadboy]

Can we have google navigation on c6?

[varquez7]

@Manmeetthebadboy you can have the maps but no navigation.

[777leonf]

what you try compare finger with as??? google maps it's not navigate software... wait google maps 5 with vector graphics 3d and try...

[kirmizigulm]

ovi maps is 100% FREE!

[chocolat80]

@kirmizigulm Google navigation is free too, I can use it without any credit

[chocolat80]

@kirmizigulm I mean is google navigation not free too?

[shmykelsathesecond]

Nokia N8's ovi maps 3.06 is much better thant these 2!

[lithinm1998]

ovi maps is better!

[stevekartinger]

Hey Guys can you please do a review for Ndrive

[Kz220for]

@stevekartinger First of all i want to buy the Island

second OK im bit curious to see the difference between the paid Apps and free ones on these devices

[kawaihui]

How about battery life while using the GPS of the devices?

[gusto1978]

my e71 GPS works perfectly.

[Ebsteins31653]

@gusto1978 Hi gusto1978. I am considering the purchase of either a Blackberry or Nokia (smart) phone, and I am pretty keen on using the gps system for my daily walks around London UK. Would you choose the Nokia mapping system over the Blackberry's? I actually like the Nokia maps (ovi) as the Blackberry maps are often considered somewhat inaccurate by those using BB maps. Do you find your GPS very accurate in street to street walking? I would appreciate your views. Best wishes. Ebs

[gusto1978]

@Ebsteins31653 i personally would prefer the NOKIA but from what my friends have shown me the blackberry isnt bad at all eithr... but the Nokia does it for me. it's my kind of brand and the GPS takes about a minute to connect according to weather and it is very very accurate. i had never been let down by it but a Nokia 72 is a but better.

[karimbma4]

@Ebsteins31653

I seen both, ovi is clearer and more accurate, its also faster on 5800, sinse i travelled a couple of times by GPS and Ovi never let me down :)

[Ebsteins31653]

@karimbma4 Hi karimbma4. I am truly greatful for your kind advice as regards the Nokia v Blackberry. I have spent some time comparing both these products: Nokia N8 and Blackberry Torch (I am always in transit from location to location in London UK, hence my continued reference to the GPS street mapping system) and, all considered, I do find the Nokia Ovi GPS mapping system to my liking and siutable for my particular needs. Thank you so much for your kind advice. With my best wishes. Ebs.

[phazen93]

@Ebsteins31653

what was the verdic? I am looking at a blackberry and would like to know what you found out.

THX.

[Ebsteins31653]

@phazen93 Hi phazen93. Thanks for your comment. I actually found the Blackberry Maps rather innacurate, misleading and, all in all, totally disappointing! The accuracy of the Blackberry Maps was utterly ridiculous phazen93! Bearing no relation to my ACTUAL street location in London UK. On the other hand, the OVI maps from Nokia, by comparison, was brilliant! Really, really accurate in pedestrian mode, with a scteen clarity that, I found, put Blackberry rather to shame! I hope this helps. THX

[nikbunnymen]

@Ebsteins31653 ...Yes I agree Nokia Ovi maps are REALLY acurate .I haven't encountered any problem at all. I was amazed at one night whilst trying to figure out how I'm going to find my way out of certain city way past 3am on a cold and frozen night , I switched on my nokia 6710 ovi map and through tiny streets i was directed left,right , ahead I was driven on the highway. A big relief.

[Ebsteins31653]

@nikbunnymen I appreciate your kind comment nikbunnymen. Indeed, so inaccurate was my Blackberry phone 'maps', that I very quickly took it back to the store and exchanged it for a Nokia E75. I too was caught out by my Blackberry handset whilst planning a route out of a certain city too and some 'unGodly hour', only to very quickly find that the Blackberry system was more of a hindrance to me! My best wishes nikbunnymen, and I hope Santa was good to you this Xmas. take care. Ebs

[keal5528]

Hold Right soft to Voice command for Nokia...

existed for 7610.....

[HARDCOREnl1337]

pretty bad that you picked the n72 for this. there are phones that are faster than that, but however, it still did a good job (as expected from nokia)

[keal5528]

@HARDCOREnl1337 it is E72.....

[HARDCOREnl1337]

@keal5528 oh yeah, now i see my misstake

but still, you get my point

[pokiebo]

Are these two programs both free? Are there any other free programs for navigation better that those?

[bkunal88]

Hey !!

i got my nokia E72 last week ...

It's Navigation is awesome ..

but my question is ... is it free for life???

or it's just demo for a month or two??

pl respond ....

and is it possible to load google maps in my phone ??

if yes how???

or any other (free) tracking software ? which will use GPS Device of E72 ??

[keal5528]

@bkunal88

Yes

No, there are list on nokia official site for the free ovi maps device

Yes, with downloading Google Maps for Symbian~

[MrGamebuoy]

@bkunal88 u can use google map on symbian phone.but i prefer the ovi maps.it is fully free & u can navigate offline without cost..and it is much more accurate.google maps need constant internet connection nd much more costly!!

[EWE38]

Onkia connecting fish.

[ricardoman21]

You should have use a nokia x6 for bigger screen

[NightSniper2008]

I'm getting E72 soon

[Macinabit]

112 Mph christ Noa your heavy on the gas!!

[asstoyou12]

ovi maps just shit in korea

[key0bb]

Can't really compare them. Ovi is so much better being offline.

[Gruntsplatter]

oakland? are you BAKED?

[pijk1]

Finally found what I searched for :), someone who says that it's possible to use GPS offline without charges :). thx!

[YouSmallMindedIdiot]

Seriously, what the hell kind of review is this? Sit down and do a proper review, not this badly filmed badly framed stuff. Clearly most or all of these 'mobile phone review' sites do it based on some revenue stream from the companies involved, and watching you guys make it up as you go along is a waste of everybody's time.

[kubos911]

Ovi maps navigation on my nokia n97 work perfectly in UK.

[exlc16]

i can't connect to the satellite. WHY ? i stayed 2 times in the park where there is clear view to the sky and the gps doesnt works ?Should i change something in the options ? I use ''map version 0.1.23.112 '' is it a problem ?If there is a new version could someone to send me a link ?

[dchao22]

awesome video!,.. HAHA, Noah got caught speeding

[IvanVolosyuk]

This guys never tried to use Google Navigation. They should press the arrow button to get actual navigation view, instead they look at some point on the road. Very incompetent comparison.

[jitend1234]

i heard the ovi maps are now completely free, does that mean there are no data transmission charges??

does anyone know?

[katatonic]

@jitend1234 yes

[oneeyedboxer]

@jitend1234 , not if you download the map, Nokia allow you to download the maps and pr-eload them in your phone, it's really neat

[jesusmelgar6]

@jitend1234  ....Yeap!!! not bad ...ja!

[thekerryman]

@jitend1234 There will still be data charges for searching, logging into your OVI maps account for synchronization or if you have Network Based ticked under Positioning Methods so best get a data plan. The navigation part is free from NOKIA now otherwise it just wouldn’t work like before.

[luggage12345]

The Ovi maps have spoken speech street nav. If you set it to UK- with street on the settings.

[luggage12345]

Yea you should have used an N97 or a Nokia 5800 with a larger screen with screen rotation.

[plext105]

Google vs. Gnoccia

[saxman112]

Awesome video! I've also been to San Francisco and Sausalito, as well as LA, just last year during my spring break! I just think that California is one of the best states that I've ever been to! I might consider it as a place I want to live (if I can afford it), when I start to live on my own in the real world. Man, I wish I had your guy's job!

[filiphilopeno]

boo, Prius.

but yay for the video tour of cali :D

[thefuf99]

hey I was just there this weekend!

[Palmiros]

if only he'd be able to say Nokia right. - sigh -

[aminfahim123]

I love these outdoor videos!

[k3vins3xy1]

i wish i had your job dude

[seriusjoEE]

noahs so gangster! my fav phonedog!

[banstaman]

Windows Mobile needs free turn by turn.

[timppa600]

what car is that

[applmac2009]

@timppa600 a prius

[BIGGGY305]

lol you guys are funny

[adrianomelette]

great video idea!

[Uprock415]

i need to update my N900 with the full free version of Ovi maps. Great vid! I too am a native Bay Area resident. Pretty cool to see some ofl the sites with you guys. LOL!

[fiktiv666]

Yeah the OVI Maps 3.03 is hopefully not far away :)

[Uprock415]

I thought it was out already? You have to use Nokia's Map Updater software to change it I believe. I just have yet to get around to doing it.

[fiktiv666]

Oh really? I was waiting for that like mental! Please let me know if you managed to do so! Cheers!

[LilMermaidFairy]

i love anything and everything google. gotta go with the google one.

[faddys123]

same here

[fiktiv666]

I don't buy brands I buy what suits me best!

In this case Nokia's OVI Maps clearly much better (for me anyways). I did my research and decided based on facts, did you do yours?

[LilMermaidFairy]

um duhh. i like the google phone better. i love android and what it can do. thats what i said before but you just took it the wrong way.

[fiktiv666]

Ok Fair enough then, I suppose I'm just sick of Fanboys.

[RealGame22]

Google is better. Has a better display while driving. Google FTW!!

[fiktiv666]

It's a comparison between NAVIGATION SOFTWARES not specific devices!

[ai4281]

Noah's not at MWC?

[Vykerie]

And it still=failure...

[Vykerie]

And my spelling=fauilure

[Vykerie]
