Maps on Ovi, a comprehensive mapping service running on Nokia's web servers and which syncs down to Maps 3.0 running on S60 3rd Edition FP1 and FP2 phones, was initially released for Windows-based browsers but has just gone live for Safari on the Mac (see maps.ovi.com). As with Windows, there's a browser plug-in involved. See below for screenshots and brief comments.

Great to see Ovi Maps not just being tied to Windows. This screenshot is from Safari on Mac OS Leopard.

The installation is a 6MB download and goes without a hitch, apart from the need to quit Safari (and lose any open tabs) at one point, plus you have to manually 'eject' the package installer...

And here's the proof that it's all working. The speed of map-dragging is quite impressive, even on my humble Mac Mini. Note the weather conditions in the title bar for the current map. And, of course, I've got those oh-so-sexy 3D models in view 8-)

With a route planned - waypoints are added by right clicking on spots on the map, and you can have as many as you like. Planning is near instantaneous for a simple A-B route, I was sitting there waiting to see a 'Calc' button and realised that the route had appeared before I'd even started scanning the screen properly...
