Nokia Maps

Nokia Maps

Nokia Maps began in 2001 as Smart2Go, a generic 3D-map interface for access to tourist information on mobile terminals. It was developed by an EU consortium named TellMaris. Nokia gained the rights to the software when it acquired Berlin-based route planning software company Gate 5 in August 2006, which then become the cornerstone for the company's mapping business. It then made the Smart2Go application free to download and it was rebranded to Nokia Maps. Later it expanded the suite with additional location services. The service was rebranded as HERE in 2012, bringing together mapping, location businesses, satellite navigation and other services under one brand.
