Espoo, April 29, 2008 - Nokia and ARC Transistance, the European
network of automobile clubs, announced today that they are working
together to provide Real Time Traffic Information to users of Nokia
mobile devices. Nokia will offer the service as a premium offering in
Nokia Maps 2.0 and in future versions of Nokia Maps. By adding RTTI,
Nokia can save precious time for drivers by alerting them of traffic,
construction or other road hazards that could affect their journey. 
When Nokia Maps receives the road updates from ARC Transistance, the
application can dynamicly re-route during navigation and provide a
faster route. This is a significant milestone for Nokia Maps, which
makes navigation an even more compelling experience for Nokia device
owners. 
 
ARC Transistance Traffic Information services aggregate the real time
road and traffic conditions of 16 countries in Europe, and growing.
The leading navigation industry players also use the ARC Transistance
Traffic Information services to enhance the routing guidance and
navigation experience of their customers.
 
Nokia Maps turns mobile devices into local mapping and routing
engines with a navigation option, providing worldwide mapping free of
charge. In so doing, the unique hybrid solution combines the
advantages of on-board and off-board navigation. Maps and
location-aware content only need to be loaded once - they are then
always available on the device.
 
Upgrading to the GPS navigation option enables your mobile to become
a powerful connected personal navigation device, that provides clear,
turn-by-turn visual and voice guidance. If your Nokia device does not
have built-in GPS, you can also use an external GPS module with a
compatible device. With vector maps provided by TeleAtlas and Navteq,
Nokia Maps now has maps covering over 150 countries, with over 70 of
them navigable.
 
The new version of Nokia Maps 2.0 for selected devices is available
on the Nokia Beta Labs website: 

http://www.nokia.com/betalabs. Beta
Labs shares some of the exciting new ideas that Nokia is working on
and let users help shape their future development.  A strong online
community has developed around Beta Labs, attracting especially
technology savvy, early adopter mobile enthusiasts.  The current
version of Nokia Maps and the Nokia Map Loader are freely available
for download* for selected devices at
