Maps data have been updated for Nokia Maps on Windows Phone. To check if it’s available on your Nokia Lumia phone, go to Settings – Applications – Maps – Check for Updates. There’s no changelog available, so we don’t know exactly what the update brings.

Nokia Maps was just updated to version 2.5. In this video, we take a look at route planning, one of the new features in this version. Videe demo on my Nokia Lumia 900 after the jump.

Nokia Research wants to take what’s been done in navigation outdoors and bring it inside. Imagine using your phone to navigate through malls, exhibit halls and other large buildings. According to EE Times, Nokia gathered about 30 companies including chip makers and service providers on Tuesday at the Sunnyvale offices to show off their research. They want to create a formal group to set global standards for such indoor navigation services by 2013.

Nokia Maps was released as a web app last week. Devices with HTML5 browsers can use it. That means iPhone, iPod touch and iPad with iOS4 or Android phones with Android 2.2 and Android 2.3. I made a video to show you how it looks on the iPhone 4.

CNN and Nokia announced a partnership today in which CNN’s news content will be supported by Nokia’s mapping services. The collaboration debuted with the use of Nokia’s 3D Maps across CNN in its recent coverage of the British royal wedding. There is also a CNN app at the Ovi Store.
