India Gets The Nokia 6210 Navigator With Nokia Maps 2.0
India is a market in which GPS is set to explode and one of the biggest companies behind location’s incredible growth in the country is Nokia. By penetrating the country with their mobile handsets where they currently boast a 63% market share, Nokia has set up India to the Eastern world’s Silicon Valley of location-based innovation. That said, it was no surprise that Nokia unveiled their GPS-enabled Nokia 6210 Navigator with Nokia Maps 2.0 in Bangalore. Not only does Nokia Maps 2.0 offer real-time voice and visual guidance, but the 6210 Navigator also features a built-in compass for quick pedestrian navigation.
Upon its release, the India 6210 Navigator will have built-in maps of 8 Indian metropolitan areas including Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Chennai, Delhi (NCR), Hyderabad, Jaipur, Mumbai and Pune. Gradually more cities and towns will be added after clearance from the country’s defense ministry and the surveyor general.
Rather than charging a fee for the phone, Nokia is supplying the phone for free as an introductory offer with an agreement to download 200 maps over 6 months for which user’s will pay a license fee. Of course, downloads require data transfer and service provider’s will charge for this. Post-introductory offer, expect to pay Rs. 18, 000 for the Nokia 6210 Navigator, or about $427.50US.
