Full search for addresses and places with instant results. You can tie your data source. Search results contain ranking and distance to the place.

Interesting places

Nokia Maps offer information on thousands of locations in five categories around the world.

Detailed information about the place contains a description, photo, address, rating, reviews, working hours and adjacent places. The component also allows you to call, go to the site, get directions or share a link.

Navigation

Convenient step-by-step navigation with three types of routes: cars, pedestrian and urban transport. I consider walking routes through cities to be especially strong.
