Today, Finnish mobile phone maker Nokia announced the availability of a new service and application for devices running under Microsoft’s Windows Phone operating system, namely Nokia Transport.
Through it, users will be able to learn more on the public transportation routes, which they could take advantage of in order to reach their destinations.
“With this unique service on your phone, you will always be prepared for what lies ahead. Just enter your destination for a complete door-to-door route,” Nokia explains.
“You’ll see integrated data for travel on foot, or by bus, train, tram, or underground. Let’s say you are starting a new job across town. Nokia Transport will help you learn the best route for your daily commute, showing your journey on a map or as a list of turn-by-turn directions.”
Nokia Transport was designed to put together information from a wide range (700) of leading public transit agencies, including BVG and VBB in Berlin, Rejseplanen in Denmark and DeLijn in Flanders.
Thus, Nokia guarantees that users will benefit from the best-in-industry information on routes, schedules and the like, straight on the smartphone in their hands.
“Check the timetables to see your scheduled departure and arrival times, as well as how long you’ll be en route to your destination. You can even keep an eye on transit disruptions and delays (right now in Berlin and Potsdam, with more coverage on the way),” Nokia notes.
Nokia Transport provides info on transportation in no less than, 512 cities in 46 countries. It is available in 24 languages.
It can be accessed through the web via maps.nokia.com, as well as through the mobile web at m.maps.nokia.com. Owners of Nokia Belle devices can enjoy it via the new Nokia Maps Suite. Today, Nokia Lumia users are also able to give it a try, via the new application released for them.
This is available for download in beta today, and can be found on the Windows Phone Marketplace.
The list of cities & regions the app covers includes:
Atlanta, Auckland, Austin, Baltimore, Barcelona, Berkshire, Berlin & Brandenburg, Boston, Budapest, Chicago, Dallas, Denmark, Denver, Edmonton, Flanders, Halifax, Helsinki, Honolulu, Houston, Las Vegas, London, Miami-Dade county, Minneapolis & Saint Paul, New York City, Philadelphia, Sacramento, San Francisco Bay Area, Seattle, San Diego, Los Angeles, Toronto, Turin, Wellington and Winnipeg.
