Getting lost. We don’t have time for it anymore. Satellite navigation has solved the problem when driving but in the age of healthy living and global warming, what about the humble walker?

Nokia have come to the rescue. Their new Maps 2.0 series will still guide your car around but no longer will you be bound to it as the new ‘walk’ feature enables you to navigate even the most complex of cities on foot.

Just think of the possibilities for tourism. No more struggling with the map that refuses to be re-folded and no more arguments about directions.

This stroke of genius will be available for Series 60 handsets immediately with Series 40 support to follow.

According to Nokia president and CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo “it will become as desired on the mobile phone as voice capability”.

With Nokia expecting to sell 35 million mobile phones equipped with GPS (Global Positioning System) in 2008, we suggest you use your paper maps for the last time to locate your nearest supplier before they all run out!
