NokiaNav Challenge

I recently wrote up about the #NokiaNav challenge which was taking place and the fact I would be taking part in some of the shenanigans. Last Friday my mission was to meet up with @WomWorldNokia and do some challenges.

Upon arrival we were given our first task;

Using the provided Nokia E72 handsets using Ovi Maps to navigate to a location nearby. Upon arrival we were greeted with these motorised bicycles. Where we received our next challenge.

The second challenge was to get to the rendezvous and meet up with our partners in crime; the previously mentioned lucky drivers. I was paired up with @TheProdigalFool who I would have to team up and do the final challenge with.

The final challenge was to navigate the drivers to the final rendezvous point; WomWorldNokia Meetup. Henceforth I entered the details into OviMaps and navigated to there - Simples. Oh yeah, I arrived in a Porsche. :D

The meetup itself was a nice occasion, the usual free beverages and food was available, whilst it was also a great opportunity to catch up with fellow bloggers, and Nokia Ovi Maps staff. We were demoed a video of the whole NokiaNav initiative, which looked pretty cool - even though it was a rough draft edit. Keep your eyes peeled for the final cut, which should be up soon on WomWorldNokia's website.

For a lot more pictures of the event and cars you should check out Nexus_ and Jon Choo's respective Flickr pages. there are some awesome pictures on there.

It was a pleasure being your team mate - albeit fleetingly!

That's it, I'm moving to the UK! Me also wants supercars!

@The Prodigal Fool - Thanks for the ride! ;) Fleeting, that we did.
