From now Nokia Maps becomes the landing page for Nokia Services where you can either explore Maps, or access Nokia App Store, Mail, Music or Contacts services.

“ Nokia Maps, one of the first Ovi services to switch to Nokia brand, now has a refreshed look and feel, faster loading, more detailed place pages and a host of new features like public transport routing, live traffic flow and more that are now available for our users.

Today, we are redirecting the ovi.com web page to Nokia Maps, as a part of the rebranding exercise. Why to Nokia Maps? Because as you may know, Nokia’s Location strategy plays a major part in our future plans and is a key part of our collaboration with Microsoft. Once you land on the page, you can either explore Maps, or can navigate to access your Store, Mail, Music or Contacts as usual.”
