From March 2010, all new Nokia GPS-enabled smartphones will come installed with the new OviMaps application and pre-loaded with local country map data and walk and drive navigation with access to location-aware Lonely Planet and Michelin travel guides at no extra cost.
Besides, is Nokia really going to dedicate staff to Android development when its more advanced OviMaps still aren't available on its much touted Maemo MeeGo mobile computing platform?
And unless it can pump out the Android version before Google Navigation goes global, there won't be much motivation to download a presumably fee-based (it certainly won't be free) OviMaps on the platform unless Android users are willing to pay to have Nokia's localized maps on the device instead of downloading them over the air as the Google offering requires.
