Here’s our third Ovi Maps story with Jerome, product manager for Ovi Maps free Walk navigation:

I also play a cameo role in this movie: can you spot me?

Jerome loves exploring a city on foot and he’s showing some of the coolest places in Berlin such as the parliament building, Reichstag, the major landmark of Berlin, Brandenburg Gate and of course, the famous TV tower.

To plan the tour in advance, he used maps.ovi.com and synchronized the route with Ovi Maps on his Nokia N97 mini. This feature is particularly useful when traveling.

The digital compass on Nokia devices is a great companion. It helps you to better orientate yourself when taking the first steps. Compass calibration can be so much fun Just move your device in a figure 8 motion.

Walk navigation really knows dedicated pedestrian pathways and shortcuts. It guides through stairs, across bridges, through parks, etc. And it shows you 3D landmarks to help you find your way.
It comes with voice guidance in 8 languages (more to come!) with text-to-speech that tells you the name of the street you have to turn onto.
