Last week in London, some 10 Mobile bloggers and mobile technology
enthusiasts were in London to help Nokia promote the launch of Ovi Maps
Good Things campaign.
A promotion designed to encourage users of the Nokia N97 and new N97 mini to add “Good Things” to Ovi maps… check out more details and add your good things at http://maps.ovi.com/goodthings/
- once uploaded, your good things will appear on the World’s largest
sign post suspended in the center of London for all to view.. the sign
arrow will even be oriented to point in the direction of your good
thing along with your message.
More about the sign post - To celebrate the launch of the Nokia N97
mini with in-built OVI Maps, the 40ft long signpost will be unveiled on
23rd October, asking people to send in their ‘Good Things’ to http://www.nokia.co.uk/maps
or text 62010 to have it displayed above London’s skyline. Nokia’s
record-breaking signpost is in the shape of a huge brightly lit arrow
pointing to the nation’s favourite places as sent in by people across
the UK. Anything from the best gastropub in Grimsby to the finest hotel
in Brighton, or even a special one off gig with Alexandra Burke.
