[talk-ph] Check out Nokia Maps

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

Without much fanfare, Nokia Maps (formerly Ovi Maps) has been steadily
increasing their map data for the Philippines, both vector data and
satellite imagery. Last time the subject of Nokia Maps' coverage was
discussed in this mailing list was back in Feb 2010
<http://www.mail-archive.com/talk-ph@openstreetmap.org/msg01702.html>.
Nokia at that time only had detailed map data and satellite imagery in
a few urban areas only.

Now, they have a lot more data throughout the country. As an example,
here's satellite imagery of Boracay, zoomed into the Discovery Shores
resort: http://maps.nokia.com/?lang=en#|11.9721996|121.9174149|19|0|0|hybrid.day

This is just one popular area where Nokia Maps has satellite imagery
that Google Maps (or even Bing Maps) doesn't.

So, just add Nokia Maps to your arsenal of map websites if you want to
check out more information.

(BTW, don't trace from Nokia Maps for OSM!)
