Nokia 3D World Gaze updated: Now supports Nokia N9

It’s no surprise but the Qt based Nokia 3D World Gaze application has now been made available for MeeGo platform and will be available to download and install on Nokia N9. With a few additions to the previous version of Nokia 3D World Gaze including the first beta release for Nokia N9, the change log of this new version is as follows.

 

Nokia 3D World Gaze updated November 27, 2011

  • First beta release for the Nokia N9.
  • Added menu option for searching cities from Wikitravel.org.
  • Added menu option for pinpointing the exact opposite side of the Earth.

What originally you could do with it before this version. Still can do.

  • 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.
