Nokia 3D World Gaze updated, with new view mode

A new version of Nokia 3D World Gaze has been released by Nokia Beta Labs. This is the second update which have several new features including a new view mode for freely travelling around the world, an option for seeing your physical location on the planet, right-side swipe menu, full support for Nokia E6. In this release many of the bugs have been fixed as reported by Nokia Beta Labs

What’s you have in this version

• The device’s real web browser app is now used for opening web links. NOTE: If your device is low on memory, World Gaze may be closed while the browser is open (both apps need a lot of memory).
• Added new unlocked “orbit” mode: you can freely travel around the world by turning the globe.
• Added a fifth content button: “My location”. A glowing user position marker shows your physical location. The current viewing location is also shown (see screenshot).
• Full support for Nokia E6: adjusted UI, text sizes and sensor input.
• The main menu is now opened with a swipe gesture (swipe from right edge). A new help message about the swipe menus will appear when first starting the app.
• Improved performance of (A)GPS positioning.
• Settings: Added an option to show the help messages again.
• When locking the view direction, the view is automatically straightened so that it does not stay in an awkward angle.
• Screensaver/dimming is disabled while the app is running.
• All thumbnail images cached in memory are deleted when the app goes to the background, leaving more memory for other applications. Consequently, images will be re-downloaded from the server when the app returns to foreground.
• Search markers are not visible on the backside of the planet when viewing from space.
• Fixed a crash that occurred when GPS position was found too quickly.
• Fixed screen refresh issue on Symbian Belle.

Instructions before Installation

• When the application is running it downloads data in the background. You should expect approximately 1-3 MBs of data transferred per 10 minutes of use. You can see the amount of data downloaded with Menu → About 3D World Gaze.
• Additionally, the installer may download about 10 MB of software packages (Qt libraries).
• When you first run the application, it prompts you for compass calibration. See the More info page for detailed information.
