pIf you’ve got an Alpine car system with a dashboard or speakers, then you’ll be able to connect your Nokia handset by either Bluetooth or USB, with navigation displayed by a class=”autolink” title=”Click here to read more posts tagged #ovimaps” href=”http://gizmodo.com/tag/ovimaps/”Ovi Maps/a on the dashboard. Navigation updates and music can come through your car’s speakers rather than the Nokia’s puny little speaker, and even information about the fuel levels and engine health can be integrated into Ovi Maps, so if you’re in need of fuel for example, Ovi Maps will tell you where the next petrol station is./p
pNo products have been shown off just yet, but this a class=”autolink” title=”Click here to read more posts tagged #terminalmode” href=”http://gizmodo.com/tag/terminalmode/”Terminal Mode/a will be available on Nokia phones soon apparentlymdash;and with well over a href=”http://gizmodo.com/5471865/nokias-free-ovi-maps-has-been-down-downloaded-3m-times”3m downloads of the free Ovi Maps/a, upgrading your car system could prove very tantalizing for some.
