After a pleasingly brief public beta, Nokia’s glazing its Maps 2.0 navigation app with a thick coating of gold and sending it off into a waiting world of S60-toting fiends to fend for itself. The new version underpins the GPS receivers in Nokia’s 2008 smartphones but is also available as a free download for a variety of existing devices, offering key improvements that make it a totally viable nav system — satellite view, traffic data, and a significantly retooled UI, most importantly, plus the addition of a dedicated pedestrian mode for those times when geographical confusion strikes while on foot. Optional packs add goodies like city guides and the all-important voice guided car navigation and ultimately make Maps 2.0 a non-free venture, but really, no full-featured nav system is — and the initial download does quite a bit out of the box. Hit the read link to kick off the download.
