In preparation for my blogger junket to London and Cambridge with the Traveling Geeks in July, we met with Nokia this week. They are outfitting us with N79 phones and all the new Ovi Maps 3.0 technologies.

Maria and Jorg, the Berlin-based team working on both Ovi Maps for the phone and OviMaps online portal maps.ovi.com showed us the next generation of mapping.
If you’ve been impressed with Google Maps, Ovi will blow you away.

Ovi Maps has 3D, satellite and terrain views as well as weather info and more. You can go to the Ovi Maps portal site and map out your routes and then sync that to your phone. The ability to use web-based software first and then sync to your phone makes this mapping experience extra powerful.

You can find an place or search for restaurants or any business in a particular area. You can get driving and walking maps. The Tom Tom and other nav systems are definitely threatened by Ovi Map’s real-time directions via the speaker in your phone. Your Nokia phone becomes a Tom Tom, with real time, turn by turn directions for your car or for walking. There is traffic information and a speed-limit voice warning system, in case you don’t have a wife. The GPS positioning is FAST. The phone records your real time walking path to make sure you stay on the route.

You can save all your personalized searches too. The only thing you need to know to use Ovi maps that’s different than Google is that you have to put in your macro location first, then go granular in your searches. You can’t type Malmaison Hotel, London. First you have to choose London, then drill down to Malmaison Hotel. That being said, Ovi has mapped the globe – 231 cities and even better, an average of 30 landmarks per city.

The 3D Landmarks Ovi has created are gorgeous – like this image of the Tower of London and the Tower Bridge. The mapping graphics are a next generation of design. Pop into a new city and pick a walking route near the 3D landmarks and you’ll see the best of that town. Nokia has also done a content deal with Lonely Planet and Michelin and is building out more content.

I’m looking forward to trying this phone and all the mapping capabilities out for my trip to Amsterdam in June and the #Traveling Geeks UK trip in July.

I’ll report back my real usage experience instead of my demo notes soon.
