Even though Nokia has been working hard on smoothing user's experience on Nokia device, that didn't prevent the Finnish company from updating the HTML5 version of Nokia Maps for Android and iOS smartphones.

The application was previously in beta and could be downloaded, but lots of features were not available.

The latest iteration of Nokia Maps comes with new features including satellite public transport as well as Live traffic views.

In addition, it supports pinch to zoom, routing for driving or walking, along with saving of favorite locations and POI information.

However, one of the most interesting new features is the new offline mode. With the new offline mode users will be able to download maps before they go on a trip where they cannot connect to the Internet.
