Nokia Maps 2 Beta

[Stephen Giggar]

Myself; I found Nokia Maps better at telling a person ware to drive and when they needed to turn and 
what way they needed to turn. This was really true if you were on a freeway. Wayfinder would just 
tell you go 1/4 of a mile and exit. It's voice didn't say what way to turn. I also found it late at 
telling you when you needed to get over to stay to the right or left to change freeways. Yes it was 
still ahead of the turn sometimes that needed to be made but normally late at telling you making it 
hard to do what you needed after you figured out what way you needed to go. The Nokia maps software 
on the other hand seemed to tell a person write when you needed to know and what way you needed to 
go and you had time to get over to ware you needed to.

Both packages are good at what they are for and different people want different things out of the 
software.

I also use Loadstone more then either Nokia Maps or wayfinder being I use the bus/train (public 
transportation) to get around the city ware I live.
