Nokia launching N-Gage and Nokia Maps on Rogers Wireless

What’s not to like about world-class car navigation with turn-by-turn visual and voice guidance in 46 languages and dynamic re-routing to avoid trouble spots? Starting with the Nokia N95 8GB, Canadians using Rogers Wireless will be able to tap into Nokia’s N-Gage gaming platform and Nokia Maps positioning software.
