Nokia's free Ovi Maps application is proving to be a crowd pleaser

Ovi Maps, which is the result of Nokia's $8.1 billion purchase of map data firm Navteq in 2007, finally seems to be picking rewards. Today, the company has announced that there were a million downloads of Ovi Maps in the first week, averaging a download per second!

An update to the Ovi Maps app that works on a range of Nokia phones was launched last week and has already been downloaded by more than a million happy navigators.

The free update features turn-by-turn navigation for walkers or drivers, bringing Nokia users on to a par with Android customers. People living in China with Nokia handsets were the most likely to download the software reported the company, followed by Italy, UK, Germany and Spain.

Applications form one of the main planks of Apple’s mobile strategy; however the policy of offering free versions of functions could reward Nokia with even higher sales for sure!

Check out the offers on the compatible handsets if you also want to be a part of the success story!
