Nokia Transforms Mobile Communication With New Mapping and Navigation Technology

The Nokia 6110 Navigator is the manufacturer’s first smartphone optimized for navigation and built-in GPS. Equipped with a dedicated navigation button, the Nokia 6110 Navigator can be used in a car to navigate its user to the desired location with voice commands and maps.

Unlike a standalone GPS — and thanks to the phone part — the Nokia 6110 Navigator can easily link up to the wireless network and download additional maps, share user position with friends, or simply place phone calls.

The Nokia E90 Communicator introduces similar navigation functions to an audience of business users. Not only do both devices inform their users about their exact position, but thanks to the GPS satellites, they can also provide helpful information about their surroundings.

Once the aim is set, both handsets navigate the user, either by foot or by car, directly to their destination.
