Ovi Maps Gets Content Services From Time Out, Qype, Expedia

Nokia expands their impressive free Ovi Maps navigation offering today by adding Expedia, Time Out and Qype to the burgeoning roster of providers supplying content to the global service.

Holiday agents Expedia bring the ability to geo-search for hotels and make room reservations from your handset, whilst also able to read reviews and receive turn-by-turn directions to your next oasis.

Time Out gives you access to the pulse of seven cities around the globe, giving you an inside track to the latest in music, bars, clubs and entertainment for London, Chicago, Lisbon, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore and Sydney. Further cities are set to follow, complete with the iconic reviews that make Time Out necessary reading for intrepid travellers.
